Title

I am also following this project for a while. I simply assume this is a side-project, as you can see by the commits (https://github.com/Colllect/Colllect/commit/228a271944e844f5b931527b4635414ed99580ff) it still has some traffic.

Hi!

Colllect is paused yet.

To be honest, I've started Colllect as a side-project, but it will engage some cost, so I've worked on a business plan and a way to not lose money, and maybe make it a part of my incomes.

The current status is: MVP API is done, the front is still WIP, form components are ready, but the UI is not usable for now.

I've worked on some other projects:

• Trumbowyg (3400 ★) — A lightweight HTML WYSIWYG editor (8kB)
• Monitoror (3100 ★) — Unified monitoring wallboard
• Column View — Display multiple web pages simultaneously

I'm currently building the v3 of Trumbowyg which will be used to edit notes in Colllect. See more about Trumbowyg v3.

Also, I'm a full-time freelancer now, so I did not have enough time to finish a Colllect alpha for now, but I did not abandon this project.

Thank you for your interest in Colllect :)

Yeah, I understand the difficulties with money and the absence of time to work on the project, no hurries. I also checked your other projects but they seem focused more on people who program, and I am not one of them.

I really hope you do not abandon this, it's the only software out there which is libre and aesthetic, the rest seem outdated, ugly, and a privacy nightmare. I wish you the best and I hope you have the time to finish it, and if you ever need some early testers, I can help with that.

If I wasn't packed with side projects and work, I'd love to help out on this one. Something like that is still much needed, raindrop isn't for me and I simply love the fact that this project is OSS. 2017 we also started a bookmarking app that failed, team vanished. So maybe I can invest myself in here at some point. The issues seem rather well detailed.

raindrop isn't for me

What makes you think Colllect can be better?

The design alone and it being OSS is enough. Everything else can be fixed while working on such project. I wish the dev of raindrop all the success, but I simply disagree with their pricing. Hence why it's not for me, back then the nested grouping was a premium feature and the only one that I needed. I don't mind paying for services at all, back then it didn't feel right.

Colllect is much more broad than raindrop too. I love the fact that you can also sort and maintain your UI inspirations. Raindrop is limited to bookmarks IIRC, Colllect offers notes/links and and pictures - dearly need that ^^

I wonder how you manage bookmarks currently, while there isn't a Colllect yet! @Alex-D

Also, it feels sad that such a beautiful landing page is for a dead project! https://colllect.io/
