@anderson760 @wpexpertca just created this embed http://wpexpert.ca/elink/ . We will be creating an example embed page shortly :)
@ppctheory Awesome! Looking forward to hearing what you think:) Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
@saje_sandhu This may be outside of your model, but it would great to have an option to add commentary around a link. I was a heavy user of Kifi (RIP) and have been looking for something similar since they announced they'll be shutting down soon. elink has a # of the features I liked w/ Kifi and could possibly be a fit for me but I need the comments function (forgive me if I've overlooked it). The ability to share content is great, but without a context to attach to it, it's not as useful, at least IMO.
@scottwwilliams I can totally understand where you're coming from. We actually allow users to alter the image, title and description for every link that is fetched. Many of our users alter the description to add their own commentary for the links that they are sharing. We would love for you to take a look and play around with it. I have a feeling it's going to meet your needs:)
This is pretty awesome, I have been using this for a few months now and often use this for my talks at the local Meetups and at General Assembly.
Some feature request include :
* Editing images ( pan, crop, highlight, etc )
* Support GIFs
Keep up the great work @saje_sandhu @raj_sandhu
@saijo_george @raj_sandhu We're excited that elink's able to help make your life easier:) Yes & yes both items are on our roadmap! Thanks for all of your support!
I love this! Now I just send my realtime elinks to customers and I've eliminated all the back and forth powerpoints and spreadsheets.
@raj_sandhu one hickup on value promise...you need a glimpse of analytics before asking for an upgrade. This way I just don't know if there's value enough for me to pay an upgrade... (by the way I started testing https://elink.io/p/product-manag...)
@tsoniotis Sure I can understand. We added a demo video right next to the upgrade button when you click on analytics inside the app. Here is a quick shortcut Hope this helps! BTW The page you created looks awesome :)
@raj_sandhu seen the video, it just does not relate to my efforts...it's very good but generic...maybe just show me the "total views"? something to lure me in....
@tsoniotis so you are saying as a free user show the views and then lure you in;) correct?
This is a well-designed. simple to use tool for sharing curated links. I'll give it a try. Great work
@germancastano Thanks for kind words! Look forward to hearing what you think about it:)
@saje_sandhu I've created this https://elink.io/998c5 your tool works perfectly to curated links, It would be nice to be able to add tags to the links that can be a good filter in the page. Besides I put a long tagline and is not displayed as a two line text, but a whole great line of text that affects the header design, you could check that, maybe a max character limit could work. I simplified the tag line so now it looks good.
@germancastano Thank you for your feedback:) That is strange, we have max limits in place. I'll message inside the app so we can resolve it.
@waqaskarim86 We both allow users to collect visual bookmarks, but that's where the similarity ends.
The major differences are the following:
1) We are focused on not only allowing users to save content, but we want users to quickly be able to share that content professionally.
2) Users can turn their collections into a visually appealing stand-alone web pages that they can share with a single-link (great for product pages, social media, etc.).
3) Users can convert their collections to curated email newsletters (awesome for industry news, company updates, client correspondence etc.)
4) Users can embed their collections onto a website or blog (fastest way to create resource pages, product pages, press pages, etc.)
5) We have multiple layouts users can choose from to decide how they want their links to be displayed.
Would love to have you take a look at us!
@waqaskarim86 Right now we have two plans a free version and a PRO version. The free plan will always be free:)
I tried v1.0 and stopped. I will definitely give an another shot to this new version. Thanks!
@wpexpertca Great! Appreciate you taking the time to check us out again. Would love to see how the embed functionality works out for you :)
@raj_sandhu I played around with the iframe: http://wpexpert.ca/elink/ not bad but it will be nice to be able to remove my name at the top and header. I don't mind with the footer. Possible?
@wpexpertca Wonderful! You can actually remove your profile. Just click the blue edit button on the elink you created and go to profile and click cancel and it will deselect the profile. It will update in real time. Let me know if you have any more questions. Happy to help!
Thanks for hunting us @kwdinc!
Hi Product Hunt,
We are very excited to introduce elink 2.0 with you guys! elink is the fastest way to turn web links into visual content. After receiving tons of valuable feedback and ideas, we have been working hard to make elink even more useful. In version one, we learned that our users loved the product, but wanted additional ways to share their link collections.
With elink.io 2.0 you’ll find awesome new features, which will help you save hours of time and resources. Here are some of the updates we’ve made:
1. Curated Newsletters – elink collections can now be sent as email newsletters in minutes. We have worked hard to ensure they look great on all email clients and are fully responsive. You can use our MailChimp and Gmail integrations or copy the HTML code to use with any 3rd party email provider.
2. iframe embeds – Your elink collections can now be embedded onto your website or blog so that you can create content faster without worrying about image sizes, HTML code, alt tags, etc.
3. Robust Chrome Extension – now you have the ability to save any link or page with a simple right click. You can even right-click a specific image you want to save a page.
4. Faster & Smarter link fetching – we have enhanced our internal fetching service. Now you can add Slideshare, Ted videos, Dropbox files, Google Docs and much more.
5. Tags – for an easier search you can add multiple tags to each elink.
6. Bug fixes, design improvements & lot more internal enhancements.
Thanks for the up-vote. We'd love for you to check out our new version! We'll be hanging out here to answer any questions and respond to your feedback:)
P.S. elink is free to use however if you’re interested in using the full set of features we have a special 30% off code: 30PHUNT
@saje_sandhu @kwdinc 2: & 3: for the win eh ! hehe https://elink.io/p/NGPDT enjoy. ps: when are we getting back our custom urls again ?
@tony_anastasi So glad you're loving those features:) We're saving the custom URLs for personal domains that will be coming in a future build.
@saje_sandhu Hi Saje, as a user for around 3 months now - I love the simplicity and end result of Elink! You guys have continued to develop new features too and I like the way you listen intently to your future prospective users, who have great ideas, that are always considered for future releases. Good luck as you progress further into 3.0! Regards, Robin.
@robinyearsley Thank you so much for the kind words! We're lucky to have such a great group of users like you, who are as passionate about elink as we are:)
@saje_sandhu how soon for the custom URL's. Folks like to improve their SEO, not detract. Product looks flipping sweet! Love the embeds, responsiveness and options for curating links. Really brilliant stuff. In the wake of curation overload, this is refreshing.
@raj_sandhu I use it to curate my Youtube video ideas and also share those links when I'm collaborating with others. It's so great to have one link for all my SM channels because otherwise it seems to take up so much space. I could go on & on but the analytics is so crucial for me and you guys have done a great job with that too! Keep it up guys!
Great product for everyone!
Every product has its perfect use and perfect user and I think I just found mine! Being a bridge to busy clients and to our extremely talented product development team, I have recommended hundreds of products to my past clients - having it tested, then proposed for their workflow to be more awesome. Its about time I have my own workflow transformed into a MORE awesome flow. Thank you @saje_sandhu ! I am excited how this can be a catalyst on how we create those html emails and web pages!
Awesome job! 😄
@iamjapupu The awesomeness of what you're describing can only be described as 'Awesome' :) We're excited to help put your mind to more meaningful work rather than unnecessary coding & designing. We have a feeling your efficiency is going to go through the roof!
