Huge thanks for hunting us @kwdinc! we’re super excited to share elink.io with the Product Hunt community. We started elink with the vision of creating a simple and beautiful way to curate & share online content. All of us are experts at something & do tons of online research around topics we’re passionate about. We believe that those articles, websites, tools, videos that we share around should live in a multi-dimensional way. Together that information, helps to tell a complete story and provide more context. So we built elink to make it incredibly easy to share multiple forms of online content with just one easy link. elink is fully responsive so you can curate and share on any device. We've also just cranked out a Chrome Extension to make it even easier for you to save links from your desktop. Here are some quick examples of what you can quickly create with elink: listicles, content marketing, resource pages, playlists (YouTube/Video), competitor research, digital portfolios (combine your work across the web), and much more. We hope you get a chance to check out elink – we’re all very excited about it. @saje_sandhu and I will be hanging out here to answer all your questions and respond to feedback. You can also ping us at info@elink.io! Thanks for checking it out! Btw here’s a promo code for Product Hunters – Upgrade to Pro Version and get 1 month Free - PRODUCTHUNT (expires 5/6/16).

This looks pretty neat. Really liked the fact that you guys went an extra mile to ensure good behavior for all devices. Cheers!
Saje Sandhu
@akshay_singhal Thanks! It was really important to us that since we were starting with a web app that it was fully responsive on all devices. It was a really fun challenge from a development and design standpoint. If you have any other feedback and thoughts would love to hear it!

elink.io makes it easy for you to collect, curate and share online information around any topic in a meaningful & visually appealing way. You can add multiple articles, social media posts, images or videos and turn them into a helpful link to share with anyone.

Can be a great place to collect all the press clippings and share that link instead of multiple links! Good job guys. Looking forward to trying it out after the weekend!

@stefamini Yes, we're seeing a lot of interest for quick press pages as well as the need for freelancers to create quick digital portfolios (at times customized for their potential clients). It's fascinating the number of ways elink is already being used. Everyone coming to the platform has their own unique needs and they are quickly figuring out how elink can work for them. You probably noticed on our home page how we have a list of various use cases to share with new users, but there are way too many uses to even list at this point. That has to be one of the most exciting parts of elink - it's limitless...bound only by one's imagination! Feel free to reach out to us at any time if you have any additional thoughts & feedback!

@saje_sandhu thank you! Will do.

Fantastic Stuff ! - just saved me days of mucking about in word press ! - cannot wait until you release the embed feature next week !.. lovin it ! thanks guys for such a great easy way to collect on topic videos for our website.. to give you an idea of the time saved, to get the first three links by hand into word press took me about 2 hours.. make a screen grab of the video - copy the text across - link everything up.. now with your elink, i did 30 links in one hour.. lovin it!
Saje Sandhu
@tony_anastasi Fantastic feedback! elink is a HUGE timesaver and we love hearing how it's cutting down on 'wasted' manual processes. We have a lot of exciting stuff coming down the pipeline, looking forward to staying in touch with you and creating more efficiencies in your life! P.S. I can relate to your word press pain - been there done that:)
Saje Sandhu
@tony_anastasi By the way Tony have you used the Chrome Extension yet?
Tony Ana
@saje_sandhu yes, but I would like a chrome option of 'right mouse button' -copy straight to elink, option better... be even quicker way of getting the url linked in :)
Saje Sandhu
@tony_anastasi Yes you are right! We'll be adding a right mouse button for our Chrome Extension in our next release:)
Tony Ana
@saje_sandhu you guys are champs! - found the right mouse button copy link AND THE EMBED link today !!!! woot woot ! hehe

Links without context is indeed useless. When we share something, it's always better with images :). Do you intend to create mobile apps?
balraj p
@tsunaze couldn't agree with you more. elink is completely responsive across all platforms but yes mobile apps are definitely on the roadmap.
Chris Frascella
How would you differentiate elink from something like Scoop.it?
balraj p
@cfrascl great question. There are a lot of differences, but here are a few key ones 1. With elink.io you can create high value stand alone single webpages around any topic. 2. Design is very important to us so you can customize your page by picking any one of the prebuilt layouts to choose from and edit at anytime. 3. elinks can be created on all device and all pages are fully responsive. 3. elink offers you unlimited topic pages for free. Last but not least its dead simple to use and currently the fastest way to curate content. But would love to get your feedback as you are familiar with content curation tools! Feel free to reach me at raj@elink.io
Chris Frascella
@raj_sandhu @elink the implications of #1 being SEO-related? #3 (the first one) that's awesome! #3 (the second one) is a compelling reason to give it a shot, the way you've broken down free vs paid version makes a lot of sense - I'll let you know what I think!
balraj p
@cfrascl #1 Yes that is correct. Looking forward to hearing from you :)

@raj_sandhu @cfrascl @elink really like this tool. I'm playing around with it at the moment. It's actually something I see I can use to test different ideas for campaigns. Want to throw around more ideas with my team and see what we come up with. Great product!
balraj p
@casielane thanks for your kind words! That's awesome! Really excited to see how you put elink to use around promoting your campaigns. We have had a lot teams using it to share information internally as well as for customer outreach and promotions. Feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions or suggestions :)

Finally a way to curate websites and share them. I normally bookmark stuff thats relevant to a search, then individually share them with limited context. Elink lets me easily create and share a collection in seconds with all my bookmarks. Love it!
Saje Sandhu
@xmanav We're so glad that elink is making your life easier! That's what we wanted from the get-go. If you have any feedback & ideas of how to make it even better to meet your needs, please reach out to us any time!
Melanie Amini
Really love this idea. I'm interested to know how you are planning to get this product into everyone's hands and get them to use it natively? It's a really useful product. Going to give it a go. Well done.
Saje Sandhu
@themelamini Thank you for your kind words! We have a few ideas up our sleeves and for example have viral features built-in: 1) All free elink accounts have an elink banner on the bottom of the page that says 'I created this page with elink.' We're already seeing high conversions coming from that button. 2) By the nature of the product each elink is meant to be shared with others drawing more attention to elink. 3) We created a small URL elink shortener for each link so that users can share our link without making it a bit.ly (free advertising for us:). Additionally as we’ve come out of beta there have been so many different use cases for elink, beyond what we could have imagined. It has our wheels turning on how to get in front of different segments of the market from content marketers, designers, developers, educators, real estate agents, travel, fitness instructors, etc. to name a few. If you have any marketing ideas I would love to hear them. If you’d like to connect offline you can email me at saje@elink.io.

Just speaking with @saje_sandhu on their live chat and sounds like they answered all my questions in regards to off site embedding and automation links between Zapier and the likes. This will be awesome for easy storing, curating and sharing of particular collections to help others find content or just share what you've found. Pinterest on crack and i can't wait to see/try more.
Saje Sandhu
@graphicartwork It was awesome chatting with you. Really appreciate your time & feedback!
Saje Sandhu
@graphicartwork Embedding is now available:)
