Thanks George for hunting Linkpack :) Hello Product Hunters! Stelios, developer of Linkpack here. Linkpack is an iOS app (+ a Chrome extension) that lets you save links for later using your Dropbox account as storage! You can read your link in-app, listen to them and track your reading progress. You can also organize those links into folders called Linkpacks and share them with the world with just one tap! We have a lot of things coming up for Linkpack in the next updates and I am really happy to answer any questions that you may have :) Cheers!

@stelabouras What was the problem you had for having to create this product? Other solutions exists, how do you differentiate from the herd? (Love the concept, just plain simple)
Stelios Petrakis
@tsunaze Great question Pierre! Here's a short story of how the Linkpack app came to be: I was a heavy Instapaper user myself and after having massive amount of links saved into my account, I had a really hard time organizing them into folders / searching them, so I started just drag'n'dropping urls from the browser to folders in my Desktop. After having created a lot of folders with .url and .webloc files I just wanted to be able to access them from all my machines, so I just moved those folders to Dropbox. Then I noticed that I couldn't read those links in my iOS devices, so that's how the Linkpack idea was created :) There are already some pretty well-established read-later apps on the market, but Linkpack takes a slightly different approach: It's not only a read-later app. It lets you save any link you find on the web (whether this is an article or not) and if this happens to be an article you get to see how much time it will take to read it and also the option to have the article read back to you with Narration. The key difference with the rest of the read-later services is that you can save a bunch of links in a folder (let's say you collect 10 links regarding SpaceX) and share those links with just one tap, by creating a unique Linkpack for you! No more copy-pasting links over and over in the chat windows ;)

@stelabouras "you can save a bunch of links in a folder (let's say you collect 10 links regarding SpaceX) and share those links with just one tap, by creating a unique Linkpack for you! No more copy-pasting links over and over in the chat windows ;)" OMG, I should've continue working on this app, I had the same idea. Because I wanted to share AirBnb places, but in one link. But the "read back to you" feature is a great idea. Thanks for the answer.

@tsunaze You can create an Airbnb folder in Linkpack and save those links to it, then tap on the share button et voilà! :)

Linkpack lets you save web pages directly from your favorite browser (desktop or mobile) to your Dropbox. You can view and categorize them the way you want to and you can easily track your reading progress, listen to your saved articles and share folders of links (called Linkpacks) with the world. Your links are always in sync between the app and your Dropbox account, meaning you can use your Mac or PC to organize them as files and folders. You can also add links using the iOS or the Chrome extensions. Read your links using Readability view and let Linkpack track your progress, so that you can continue from where you left off. You can even enable narration and have the content read back to you while you are on the move. Finally, if you want to share a Linkpack with the world, the app will generate a unique URL that displays all the links in a beautiful page! If you are into reading online, this is for you!

@phaistonian Hey george, Great app I downloaded it, But I believe if you implemented in-page search , which means I can search for a specific content inside the pages I already stored , It would be really useful ..... wish you best of luck
Stelios Petrakis
@hammouriomg Thank you Omar! We have already considered adding both in-page search and offline support in a future update, but they are just not our top priority at the moment as far as new features are concerned. :)

i think this service is only useful if you are a major link collector. other basic bookmarking services should be enough (evernote, kifi...)
Stelios Petrakis
@ourielohayon Yes, Linkpack makes it easier to organize a large number of links and you are also able to share a collection of them with your friends with just a tap. We do plan to add more exciting features down the line, so stay tuned :)

I really like the idea of linkpacks in order to share a bunch of links to your friends/team, that's the thing I was missing on pocket. It would be great if the shared links would be dynamic not just a static image of the current state, means if I add a link, the linkpack I shared automatically updates. Another cool thing for the future would be, if more people could work on one list (e.g. two co-founders sharing links about funding) - but I guess this would collide with the dropbox functionality? - which is a smart approach though to outsource the storage to the user. Overall I absolutely like your product (already using it) and with your features you're making sure that pocket can't just outplay you. Looking forward to follow your development :)
Stelios Petrakis
@itsdavelux Great suggestions David! Yes, having the Linkpack page change while you are adding/removing links in your Dropbox folder is one of the features we already have on our roadmap. The collaboration is also something we are thinking of implementing, and while Dropbox doesn't let App subfolders to be shareable between Dropbox users at the moment, there are ways of working around this limitation. Thank for your feedback!

Haven't installed the app as yet. But, sounds like the same thing I do in evernote. I use the google extension to add URLs of interest and then tag them according to what it is applicable to and simply read it from the evernote app. Am I missing something?
Stelios Petrakis
@zingbhavya The flow is pretty much the same for Linkpack with the exception that your links appear as files in the filesystem (inside your Dropbox folder), so you can search them using even Spotlight (on OSX), organize them in folders and share those folders of links using the iOS app with just a tap with your friends! So instead of c/p a bunch of links, you just share a Linkpack containing a list of links you have collected ;)

Great job from a great (and greek) team! The narration feature is very exciting, in my opinion. I already listened to an article I saved during my midday work out and it's really not bad. Thanks. Would be awesome to be able to import links from Pocket, as others mentioned above. You'll have to fight the huge investment made from users on Pocket, Instapaper and similar services, and having a 1 click solution for this would make the whole thing to (at least) try as effortless as trying out different email clients. Kudos on the 2016 design, seems really fresh.
Stelios Petrakis
@kostgx Thank you for your feedback Kosta! As mentioned before, the import functionality from other services is already on our roadmap, as well as integrations like email, Alfred etc :)
Thanasis
@stelabouras Always love to see makers from Greece posting on @ProductHunt ,i think that the app fits in many use cases(not sure if its a good thing 😁) but its totally useful! I have some design suggestions but in general i think its a great execution of the idea! Nice job!
Stelios Petrakis
@tnsrig Thank you for your feedback Thanasis :) I would love to listen to your feedback! Shoot me an email at stelios@evilwindowdog.com :)
