In plain English

WebStack is an open-source website navigation page, sometimes called a "link directory" or "bookmark hub." The idea is simple: instead of digging through browser bookmarks or remembering URLs, you get a clean, organized page that groups useful websites into categories and displays them with logos and short descriptions. The demo runs at webstack.cc and shows what the finished product looks like. The project is primarily a static front-end built with the Bootstrap CSS framework. You download the files, edit them to add your own links and categories, and then host the result however you like, whether on GitHub Pages, a personal server, or any static file host. No database or server-side code is strictly required for the basic version. The repository also lists over a dozen community-contributed back-end ports for people who want a content management interface rather than editing HTML files directly. These include versions built on WordPress, Laravel, Hugo, Jekyll, Typecho, Spring Boot, Java, Golang, Vue, and Flask, so you can pick whichever technology stack you already know. The source repository includes the icons for every listed site as 120x120 pixel PNG files stored in the assets directory, along with a Sketch design file if you want to tweak or add icons. Deploying the static version is described as downloading and editing the content, nothing more. The project is documented primarily in Chinese. The maintainer notes that there is no paid or "Pro" version of WebStack despite some third-party sites marketing one under that name. All versions listed in the README are fully open source. Commercial use of the WebStack name without authorization is explicitly discouraged in the project's statement.
