Another great example of how miniature personal directories are experiencing a comeback. * https://tray.club https://tray.club - like this, but allows subpages and notes areas. * https://gossipsweb.net https://gossipsweb.net - pay $1 to be in this directory ('cozy web'-type vibe) * https://terra.finzdani.net https://terra.finzdani.net - personal directory * https://marijn.uk/linkroll/ https://marijn.uk/linkroll/ - another one * https://href.cool/ https://href.cool/ - mine But I love the simplicity of Multy - dump your links and click create. Great work.

It's not immediately obvious to me what href.cool is.

This is an obvious subtle example of thread high jacking, masquerading as a helpful comment, but aimed at getting traffic to your website. Should be against the rules. I don’t have the ability to report, hence posting here

  I don't have the ability to downvote your comment but if I could I would. This sort of suggestion of niche web sites (by different people) that I basically would have never comes across except through some recommendation is something that I highly value HN for.

  I agree that I'm stretching it here - personal directories are my personal niche and definitely something that I'm seeing everywhere - even in this little link-sharing tool. But I figure that I'll put the thought out there and people can agree or disagree. Glad for you to voice your disagreement - I may need to tone it down.

    It’s a fine line and I apologize if I was being harsh. I’m not speaking for the original author, but from my own experience, getting to the front page of HN is very difficult, and I’ve noticed a fair few people (not blaming you) who have been advertising their own products on somebody else’s post. It’s sort of like gaming the system. It’s not fair to the original author since the conversation can get sidetracked from his project to the project being linked. It’s like jumping the queue. Actually I am not blameless here, I inadvertently did the same until I realized what I was doing was wrong —- it’s not something I think comes readily to the mind of the normal reader, but for any of those looking to promote it becomes obvious. Again it’s a fine line. It’s an issue with HN having a large audience, no ads and a relatively cheap (well basically free) way to advertise ones work. Same thing happens with reddit; and now I have heard that some of moderators there are taking kickbacks by allowing / disallowing certain posts.

      Ok you’ve convinced me - thank you for taking the time to explain in detail! At least on Show HN posts, I now see that this is rude. Apologies to the original author and thank you for the helpful tone.
