Marginalia is a shared library for small groups. Share links, add your thoughts, and build a collection that gets more valuable over time — not a feed that disappears into scroll‑back.
Free to use. No ads, no algorithms, no karma.
The key insight is on page 6 — expert selection is surprisingly stable across similar inputs.
They went with macaroons instead of JWTs — relevant to our auth discussion last week.
Your group already shares great links — in Discord, Slack, group chats. But that great article from last month? Buried. The thread where someone explained why they disagreed? Gone.
Start a club for any group — your ML reading group, your work team, your friends. Set it to private or public. Invite by link.
Paste a link and Marginalia pulls in the title, description, and preview automatically. Add your commentary — context, critique, why it matters. That's the marginalia.
Every link becomes part of a permanent, searchable collection. Browse by domain, author, or date. Find anything your group has ever shared.
The feed shows what's new. The library shows what's been collected. Same content, different lens.
Chronological. No algorithm, no ranking. New posts appear in real time. Open the app, see what your group shared today.
Search everything your group has ever shared. Filter by domain, author, or date. The collection only gets more valuable over time.
Links pasted into Discord or Slack, buried within hours
→Every link is permanent, searchable, and part of a growing collection
Reddit karma turning conversations into performance
→No voting, no ranking. The quality comes from who's in the room
Algorithmic feeds deciding what you see
→Chronological. Everything your group shares, in order
Scattered across five platforms with no shared context
→One place for each group. Each with its own library.
Same tool, different configurations.
A group of practitioners sharing papers, tools, and experiments. The library has 6 months of curated ML resources searchable by topic.
A work team sharing deep dives on their tech stack. New hires browse the library to get up to speed on past architectural decisions.
A friend group sharing local news, restaurant finds, and the occasional meme. Low-key, but searchable when someone asks 'where was that taco place?'
A personal linkblog. One person curates, anyone can read and comment. Subscribers follow via RSS. A quieter alternative to tweeting into the void.
Chronological or nothing.
Your words stand on their own.
You are not the product.
You find clubs through people.
No streaks, no badges, no dark patterns.
Export everything, anytime.
Create your first club, invite your group, share a link. The collection starts now.
