I'm developing share-links, a self-hostable website that allow you to post links you find and assign tags to them. All links are public, because sharing knowledge is really cool :P

Here's the link to my instance: links.l3m.in/en/

It can be viewer as a Django clone of shaarli, but the feature list is expanding fast :P

Interesting and I like that it seems simple!
Nice list of links btw! I might peek into some of them:)

Thanks! There's a few options you can tweak on the settings, but the base is always the same: the django admin for adding links (& editing them), tags & about+contact page (and moderating comments), and a public website listing links.

The options varies from saving a pdf of the page when you add the link, disabling comment moderation, to changing the favicon service used by the instance (and many more things) :P

One cool thing to do is adding the random link url (links.l3m.in/en/random/) as your default page when you open a new window of your browser. That way you stumble over an interesting article every time you open your browser :)

The random link looks very interesting! Do you know about a browser extension called 30 seconds of knowledge?? Pretty similar concept, very nice 😊

That's a nice concept! I already knew Django Trick had a similar concept (random trick URL), but I never took the time to dig more on random knowledge. I think it's very interesting and it could be very effective to help people learn new things.
