MyLinks is a dashboard of web links, a bit like browser bookmarks but shown on a single page
Before continuing, we must say MyLinks doesn't handle embedded elements like emails, service status, smart home access panels and so on.
As the name implies, MyLinks, it's a dashboard to organize links.
From now on, the term widget
is used to define a box containing links.
- Configuration does not leave the user's computer, it's saved on the browser storage (localStorage for tech people)
- Configuration can be exported as JSON and saved on local disk, it's just a simple file!
- Of course, if you can export, you can also import...
- Arrange links in a grid that can hold as many widgets as the user desires
- The columns and rows in the grid are defined by the user
- It is possible for users to organize links into widgets. One example is to make a widget called 'Social' and include links to Facebook, Instagram, and X
- Drag and drop can be used to reposition widgets
- Drag and drop can also be used to move links between different widgets
- Dark mode is supported. By default, it uses the system color scheme, but it's possible to override it.
- All links are visible, but widgets (such as those that are less frequently used or too long) can be collapsed to save screen space.
- The collapsed widgets appear when the mouse hovers on them, so it's always possible to click them.
- The background can be modified by selecting a wallpaper URL.
- It's normal to open links by clicking on them, but it's annoying. Therefore, the user can simply press a keyboard shortcut to open any link.
- It's possible to open multiple links simultaneously.
- By clicking the widget toolbar icon or pressing the assigned key while the mouse is over the widget, all links contained inside it can be opened.
- The icons shown for links can be customized per single link or using a favicon retriever service (the most used is the google favicon service)
- We strongly recommend to use a favicon service because it's so useful identify link by its logo, see the Favicon service for more details
- Links can be picked using fuzzy search, just open the search dialog and go!
- The search dialog can be open using a shortcut key (defined by the user)
