The HyperLinks.Site project's goal is to make resources (such as software, references, websites and other tools) easily available for both new and expericed designers, software & game developers or anyone interested in digital content creation.

How to submit links
Until a proper static building system is in place, follow the next steps to add links:
👍
The easy way
If you don't know how to edit HTML or you don't feel like touching the code, you can just follow this procedure:
- Read the GUIDELINES before doing anything.
- Add the links at the end of /_submissions/links.txt.
- (Optional) Add your name in the contributors section of /humans.txt.
- Make the pull request.
👩💻
The coding way
If you want to add links directly into specific categories, make new categories, modify existing ones, or something similar. You can use the method you are already familiar with:
IMPORTANT: Remember to make different commits for each relevant change so that it is easier to review and approve your pull request.
- Read the GUIDELINES before doing anything.
- Make modifications to the /index.html files.
- (Optional) Add your name in the contributors section of /humans.txt.
- Make the pull request.

Add submission guidelines
I need to add guidelines for 1- What kind of links are allowed 2- How to submit them
Also make it easy, I don't want people not adding stuff because they don't know how to edit HTML, so a simple plaintext file should do, with a static build system that just adds the new stuff in the file to the HTML.
Stop relying on google's api for the favicons
I wanna get rid of the third party cookies added by google for using it for fetching the favicons of each page, so I'll store the icons locally instead and make a script that just adds the <img> instead of having to add it manually.
Or something like that
