A simple portal, that allows you to dynamically define links to go to. It serves like a collection page for various kinds of links. The idea was to provide a interface for common used links among a certain group of people. Via the Portal, all commonly used links can be gathered and accessed at a central place.

This project is a continuation of another one I did in 2019, Technik Portal
