Open library · community-kept
A hand-keptlibrary of theinternet.
Links, tools and references — collected by the community and organised into open collections. Slow, deliberate, and kept in the open.

Every collection is a shelf, kept by hand.
On the shelves
A slow library — one collection, one link at a time.
The library is a set of open collections, kept by hand. Every link is added deliberately, tagged, and placed on a shelf someone will actually reach for.
Some collections read like reading lists. Others behave like reference shelves — quick lookups, workbooks, and studio bookmarks. Every collection is public, and every link is worth the click.
Follow along, save what you need, and contribute the pieces you keep coming back to.
Every link is placed by a person.
Nothing is scraped. Every entry is opened, read, and filed under a shelf that someone will reach for later.
Collections that behave like shelves.
Design references, developer utilities, small studios, field notes — each collection reads like a topic, not a tag cloud.
Search that follows the links, not the noise.
One search box, calm results, and a quick filter across shelves. No ads in the results, no upsells for a paid tier.
Open by default.
Every collection is public and permalinkable. Share one link, and a friend lands on the same shelf you did.

“A quiet corner of the web I actually come back to.”
From the notebook of a reader who has been with us since the first collection went up.

A few things people usually ask.
What is the library, exactly?
A set of open, hand-kept collections of links — tools, references, essays, and studio bookmarks — organised so a person can reach for them. Every collection is public.
Who adds the links?
The community. Anyone with an account can suggest a link into a collection. Nothing is scraped or auto-imported.
How do the collections work?
Each collection is a shelf on a topic. Design references, developer tools, field notes, studios, and reading lists all live on their own shelves — permalinkable, filterable, and open.
Is the library free?
Yes — every collection and every link is free to read and to share, forever.
Keep the library going
Add the links you keep coming back to.
The library grows one contribution at a time. Add the tool you open every morning, or the essay you keep re-sending — someone else has been looking for it.
