The story of Linxpy: Relevant, interesting, and remarkable
Presentation abstract
This presentation outlines the genesis of a new platform for the organization of personal link collections, tagging and serendipitous recommendations. Although Linxpy builds on old ideas of information organization, serendipity and the value of lists, it also counters digital slop, doom-scrolling and brain-rot. After having many conversations about information organization, curation and relevancy, building and testing multiple prototypes and always dealing with new technologies, a team of two started to build on their mutual vision a platform for real. Since 2025, a user community of Linxpy Alpha+ discovers what works and what not. Finally, a demonstration of its current incarnation of features and functions will be given.
