As a developer and freelancer I'm constantly working on a lot of different projects. Like most other developers I also have quite a lot of side projects that all are in some kind of "work in progress" phase.
For every project there are a lot of links and small pieces of knowledge I have to keep track of: development, staging, production, project management tools and issue tracking, documentation, design documents, folders and files on my local machine, git repositories, hosting providers, databases and so on.
I needed a way to keep track of all the bits and pieces related to a specific project. So in case someone asks me something about a project we worked on months or years ago, I knew where to look.
Now keeping them inside notion, confluence, etc. felt clunky, since these tools are build to handle a lot of different complex use cases and are meant to be used as a large knowledge base. The search can be slow and navigating via the keyboard can be quite hard.
That's why I build baseboard. It's a tool for keeping all your important links in one safe, colorful and keyboard-friendly place.
Looking forward to your feedback, suggestions and opinions on how it can be improved!
This looks nice, but I would prefer a FOSS solution I could truly own myself, because links are personal organization are a very personal thing you never want a company to take away for you-- perhaps you can make a sustainable FOSS business model such as selling customization, support, and taking modifications from users.
Thank you. I think if you really want to own your links and personal organization you should look for a more general tool, like a wiki. I'm not sure people would want to self-host a tool like this. Since it only covers a small area. But I might be wrong.
One general solution could be an export feature. So you can always have direct access to your data.
