I'm building a place where people who actually know a field can share the links that matter, not what an algorithm thinks you'll click

Wait 5 sec.

Every field has people who know which 20 links actually matter: the researcher who knows the three papers worth reading, the designer who knows which resources are genuinely good, the teacher whose reading list beats any course. That knowledge usually dies in their bookmarks folder. Meanwhile, when you look for material on a topic, you get SEO-optimized listicles, engagement-ranked feeds, and more and more AI-generated filler. So I built Quickrefs: a place where people who know a subject can save and share what's genuinely worth your time. How it works Saving is one click. Chrome extension, right-click menu, keyboard shortcut, bookmarklet, and a PWA so you can save from your phone's share sheet. Title, description and image come in automatically. Any Collection can become a public page. Each link can carry a short note from the curator on why it matters. The curator is always visible. Every public page shows who put it together, so you can judge the source, not just the links. You can follow curators whose judgment you trust. No algorithmic feed. Discovery is hand-picked by people, not ranked by engagement. https://reddit.com/link/1woid2s/video/i003x49c4crh1/player Here's a collection by on Go (Baduk) https://quickrefs.com/c/haugland_dev/learn-go-baduk Stack: Next.js 14 + Supabase, Chrome extension, PWA with Web Share Target. This is v2. v1 had a flaky extension and too many features, so I cut everything that wasn't saving or sharing. I'd really like feedback on: What would make you trust a collection from someone you've never heard of? Is a visible profile plus a note on each link enough, or do you need more? Would you share a public collection about your own field? If not, what would stop you? Can you save your first link and see your public page in under 30 seconds? That's my onboarding target.   submitted by   /u/gabyupi [link]   [comments]
