The Story

As a lifelong learner, I constantly come across useful websites, videos, and blogs. I used to rely on browser bookmarks to save them, but soon I found myself drowning in a chaotic list of links that were impossible to manage or organize effectively. I couldn't deal with it anymore.

So, I decided to build a solution. I created nslinkhub, a dedicated resource management tool designed to help me (and others) save, organize, and retrieve learning materials efficiently.

The Problem

Browser bookmarks are static and cluttered. They lack flexible organization, tagging, and the ability to easily filter or search through hundreds of saved resources. For someone consuming a high volume of technical content, the default browser tools just don't cut it.

The Solution & Implementation

I developed a RESTful API using Flask (Python) to handle the core logic of resource management. The system allows users to:

  • Save links with metadata.
  • Organize resources into categories.
  • Retrieve resources programmatically.

This project was a deep dive into backend development, API design, and data structuring. It transforms a simple need—saving a link—into a structured, queryable database of knowledge.
