Pointers – privately share links to your online presence

Hacker News

Today I launched Pointers, a simple, low-tech directory to help share links to your online presence with friends and mutuals. Unlike similar services like Linktree, Pointers is designed for private or intimate links you may not want to make visible to the world - a sort of forwarding service for the Internet, inspired by the concept of the forwarding pointer in computer science. It works very simply: other users search for you by your online names, and request access to your links for a short period of time. After their access expires, they'll have to request again. Pointers has just launched, so please let me know if you spot any bugs. The code is up on GitHub!
