LinkBook aims to provide users a platform to store, manage, share and discover web URLs.

Motivation

Facebook is one way to share links with one’s friends, however, it does not provide an option to manage those links for future reference. LinkBook provides the users with the option to store their links in multiple books, operating in both repository mode and feed mode – so that the users get the best of everything!

tl;dr – Facebook’s sharing + Github’s Control = LinkBook!

Concept

LinkBook provides users with options to store their links in containers called Books. Both links and books can be given tags for future reference. Users can follow each other, and upvote/downvote others’ links as well – a social network for links!
