    That feels a bit too corporate-y for my taste…

    And I mean, why do we need this to be open-source? If you plan to self-host, you can just host a personal webpage. With just a few lines of HTML+CSS, you can get a decent looking link-collection.

      People want “flashiness” nowadays. I’ve had to deal with this line of thinking far too often. I’d much rather have a simple site as a collection of links: it loads quickly, looks clean, and it’s easy to maintain.

        I can see that being an aspect, but there’s gotta be thousands of flashy HTML templates for this out there, most of them probably created by Tumblr users.

        And well, I feel like being able to make it precisely your own thing, that’s also worth a lot. People put so much effort into their online brand, I feel like they would appreciate this freedom quite a bit.

      I’m not sure I’d use it myself, but I do appreciate the author publishing their source.

        Yeah, I certainly do prefer published source code over proprietary bullshit. I’ve just grown wary of companies using it as some feel-good marketing term (or here even as basically the unique selling point), when it’s pretty much teethless in the given scenario…
