Discover, catalog, and retrieve shared content links from JustPaste.it with surgical precision.
Repository Name: LinkOrchard
Tagline: "Where scattered links become structured knowledge — a self-contained, privacy-first link aggregation engine for pastebin-style platforms."
Inspired by the concept of extracting links from JustPaste.it, LinkOrchard evolves that idea into a modular, extensible, multi-platform link harvesting framework. Think of it as a digital mycologist — it doesn't just find mushrooms (links); it identifies their species, maps their mycelium relationships, and helps you cultivate a garden of interconnected information.
While the original justpaste.it-link-finder focused narrowly on a single source, LinkOrchard introduces:
- Multi-platform support: JustPaste.it, Pastebin, Ghostbin, PrivateBin, and custom paste services
- Semantic relationship mapping: Automatically connects links that reference the same domain, topic, or content hash
- Offline-first architecture: Your harvested content stays on your machine — no cloud dependencies, no data sales
- AI-enhanced categorization: (Optional) Claude or OpenAI API integration for auto-tagging and summarization
- Responsive web dashboard with dark/light mode and real-time link visualization

LinkOrchard can optionally leverage OpenAI's GPT models to enrich harvested links:
- Content Summarization: Auto-generate concise descriptions of linked pages
- Smart Tagging: Identify topics, categories, and keywords without manual effort
- Relationship Discovery: Find thematic connections between disparate links
# Enable via config or environment variable
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-key-here"
link-orchard harvest --url https://justpaste.it/example --ai-categorizeFor teams preferring Anthropic's Claude:
- Long-form Analysis: Claude excels at understanding nuanced technical documentation
- Safety-First Filtering: Automatically flag potentially harmful or misleading links
- Structured Output: Returns analysis in precise JSON format for downstream processing
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-your-key-here"
link-orchard add-platform --name "claude-filtered" --ai-provider claudeNote: All AI features are optional and opt-in. No API calls are made without explicit configuration.
