the first time twitter hit End Times Mode and everyone posted their links, i made a spreadsheet of all the people i follow on there and where i can find them elsewhere. but of course, as i followed new people on twitter (and elsewhere) and as new social media sites popped up, that list quickly became out of date. and when everyone posted their links again today, i just felt exhausted.
it's by no means a perfect solution, but i want linktree (except, like, not linktree lmao) with following, blocking, and locking functionality. one central "here's where you can find me", and that is its sole purpose. no posting, no extra features, and a very small footprint - bare bones HTML and CSS. a public service, in an ideal world, so it doesn't also inevitably shutter. the internet can grow and change, social media sites can come and go, personal websites can flourish, and you can always stay in touch with folks wherever they travel on the web.
(if i'm reinventing something that exists -- or existed -- do let me know lol, there's no way "phone book for the internet, but like, y'know, with privacy measures" is an original thought)
