The report card
Best for an open-source social bookmarking site
LinkHut is an open-source social bookmarking site in the Pinboard style, with tagged bookmarks, public discovery and RSS. No pricing page was found, so what it costs or limits is unconfirmed, and the footer shows version 0.1.8. Bookmarks on the home page are public.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No pricing page was found, so there is no price to grade, and it sits at the ordinary C. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Sign-up is open, but with no pricing page we can't say what is free or what it costs later. |
| Features | C | Tagged bookmarks, public discovery, an RSS feed and open source. It does the bookmarking job at a basic level, and little else is documented on the pages read. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and little documentation on the pages read, so some learning is likely. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | A website only, with no apps or integrations listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
LinkHut is free, so making your own would save you nothing.

What this rests on. LinkHut’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
