Use WordPress as a Database of Resources

Use WordPress as a Database of Resources

Developers, designers, Social Media & Marketings gurus... we all have many things in common. One of them: we browse the web and we find articles, tutorials and resources that we want to keep, because we might need them in the future.

We favourite tweets, we bookmark stuff, we subscribe to RSS feeds. But, it's that enough? We had Google Read, but it's dead now. Feedly seemed to be an option, but now they want to charge 5$ a month to be able to search through our articles (no way!). We have Pocket, but it's not a dedicated tool, and it's difficult to organize stuff in a way that we can quickly use it. And they might want to also charge us in the future, or they could just simply disappear.

Bottom line, depending on tools we don't fully control and that are not fully intended for our purpose is kind of dangerous. So, based on this, I decided to stop worrying about it and create my own tool. I need something I can rely on forever, a place I know I can turn to
