Hello HN!
I have compiled a list of places to post your side project. Hope you find this useful
Original list by Xavier Coiffard
Thanks! Will add OAuth soon!
Sure, thanks for the suggestion!
Keen looks more discovery based collaboration too. SeeLink is more about sharing important links with teams, friends, or family. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Haven't thought about this much yet, but I think a freemium model, something like padlet, might work here. However, for the foreseeable future, SeeLink is free!
I think SeeLink is the most accessible way to share links with friends and family at the moment, since it offers a ton of link specific features that make sharing links with groups of people easier
Thanks! Yup, SeeLink does allow for sharing links between devices. For files, I'd recommend something like Google Drive or Dropbox.
Thanks for asking! SeeLink makes your links sharable, searchable, and easily readable (as it displays each link in the form of a card with a title, description, and image). It also allows you to write text around the links using a tag, and has a ton of link specific features that make it easier to share links. These include creating specific boards through which you can add specific links to share with specific people. I think these are the main advantages that SeeLink has over something like Google Docs. Let me know if you have any further questions!
That has been common feedback from quite a few users. Thanks for letting me know, I'll implement it soon :) I think I might make it so that you need to sign up if you want to add a link to the board, but can see others' boards without signing up.

Agree with most of the points you have made here. Would be super cool if other open-source projects or applications could find a use for SeeLink. I haven't thought much about open sourcing the project yet, but I will definitely keep this option open in the future!
Wouldn't Delicious be more like Pinterest? I have to admit I hadn't heard of it before, but SeeLink's main use case is to share links with small groups of people, such as teams, friends, or family. SeeLink might come in handy for a student project where you need to share a ton of resources across the web, or even starting a new side project where you need to do lots of research and collaboration. Thanks for taking the time to comment, though!
Hi. I haven't really thought about open-sourcing the code and apps that might want to use SeeLink yet. However, I am working on an API since I'm building a Chrome extension to communicate with the product and make it easier to add links. Do you have any idea as to what kinds of apps might find communicating with SeeLink useful? The app is built in Python with Flask, and I have used Bootstrap on the frontend.
Hello HN!
After being frustrated with not being able to share and collaborate on links with friends and family, I created SeeLink, a platform to simplify sharing and collaborating on links with friends and family.
Conventionally, sharing links with people was done through messaging apps, where they would get lost in the sea of messages. SeeLink allows its users to create boards to share links with individuals / groups of people, allowing them to save and share human-readable links at the click of a button.
After 3 months of work, I have created a complete platform that simplifies link sharing and collaboration, allowing you to seamlessly share, save, and collaborate on links with groups of up to 50 people at a time. I'm super excited to finally launch SeeLink and get it out to the world! Let me know if you have any feedback, suggestions, or questions.
