It would be cool to have filter by the person who has added the link

Good idea. But whats the use of this?
And BTW its also easy to implement How about clicking on username on link card will show all links shared by that person? Now clicking on username i am redirecting it to their github profile.

I am unable to see the use of this filter. You can search for a tag and get results from all the users and enjoy the variety. Why limit the search to any user and assume one has better links.
Also many links aren't associated to any user (they are from whatsApp) . So you will miss out on many useful links cause of this filter.

Example is I remember seeing an article shared by Chakri in the whatsApp group and wanted to read it later. However, when trying to search for it in linklet I cant remember the topic or the name of article. But I know it's from chakri. Also sometimes you want to discuss further or brainstorm on the resource and may want to connect with the original contributor.

Basic problem is that one cannot extract the names from whatsApp group along with the links they are posting. So all the links from whatsApp will be shown as Added from whatsApp.
The only names you are seeing are the ones who chose the linklet for posting links instead of whatsApp .
Therefore, the only way to see link posted by your friends is through the date filter (as you don't remember its context in this case).
I also assume that the most of the links will still be posted on the whatsApp group(due to community interaction aspect) because which the name filter wouldn't always be useful as you may get confused if the person posting the link posted it on linklet or whatsApp.

I think the name filter would have been very useful if we could extract names from whatsApp along with the links .But since we couldn't it's use seems very limited .

@duttakapil What you think of this feature? Do we need it?

As the site grows and we have more people submitting the link directly to Linklet, then I can imagine this being useful
