I built Culink — a simple tool to organize and share meaningful links

Hey everyone

I’ve been working on Culink for the past few months as a solo developer from Korea.

It’s a minimal web app to organize and share meaningful links — kind of like Pinterest for links (articles, tools, videos, and resources).

Why I built it
I kept losing interesting links across messy bookmarks.

GitHub “awesome lists” are great but static — I wanted something more visual, social, and collaborative.

What it does

  • Create themed collections (AI tools, dev resources, startup guides, etc.)
  • Collaborate and share collections with others
  • Follow curators you like
  • Discover quality content through your network

Tech stack

  • Next.js 15
  • NestJS
  • PostgreSQL
  • Azure Container Apps

Built solo over a few months 🇰🇷

Try it
You can explore it here: https://www.culink.io/discover

I’d love your thoughts

  • What use cases come to mind for you?
  • Anything confusing in the UX?
  • Features you’d want before adopting it?

Thanks for reading!

Based on a 60-second tour, it looks like a nice little project, and the purpose and controls... everything's pretty obvious to me, just like it should be.

I can see what it does straight away, and my use case (if I had one) would be for sharing a bunch of links with other developers in my job.

Downsides: it doesn't work without JavaScript.

I didn't try any of the logged-in features.

In terms of things to improve it, I'd wonder how well it'd scale, and if it'd drop off whatever tier you're using to host it!

Thanks so much for checking it out!
We’re handling Azure costs for now and keeping an eye on scaling.

Out of curiosity — what do you currently use to share links or resources with your dev team?
I’d love to understand your workflow a bit better.

And if you ever give Culink a try, any feedback would be really appreciated!
