Project Overview
Linkbucket is a minimalist bookmarking service that helps users organize and access their favorite websites. Unlike traditional bookmarks, Linkbucket focuses on visual organization, tagging, and quick search.
I created this project to replace my chaotic browser bookmarks with something more visual and better organized. The goal was to build something simple yet powerful enough to handle hundreds of links without becoming unwieldy.
Note: This project is currently deprecated in favor of Bookshelf, a more feature-rich and actively maintained bookmarking solution.
