I frequently find i I'm a systems engineer in my day job (and have been for the past 7 years). I didn't want to get too detached from the web development world.

I have it running on my home server and it's one of my most used self-hosted apps. I, however, don't like the fact that it doesn't preview the content of the links I dump there and to be honest, it doesn't have to because that's not what it was designed for. It's just that I dump a lot of links there and I'd have loved if I'd be able to figure which link is that by just looking at my timeline. Also, given the variety of things I dump there, I'd have loved if it does some sort of automatic tagging for what I save there.
