🌐 What is Enwek?

Enwek (Entire Web Key — እንወቅ in Amharic, meaning "let's know") is a social URL library. Every unique link on the internet exists only once on Enwek. Instead of the same content being reposted thousands of times across social media with scattered reactions, Enwek keeps all discussions, likes, comments, saves, and shares connected to one canonical link page.

Founded in Ethiopia, Enwek is designed to be fast, accessible, and genuinely useful — helping people discover the best Pages, Videos, PDFs, and Software the internet has to offer.

⚙️ How It Works

When a user submits a URL, Enwek normalises it using a SHA-256 hash to check whether it already exists. If the link is new, a canonical page is created. If it already exists, you are taken to that page — no duplicates, ever.

• 1User submits a URL with a title, description, and content type.
• 2Enwek checks for duplicates using a SHA-256 hash of the normalised URL.
• 3A canonical link page is created (or the existing one is returned).
• 4Community members like, save, comment, and click — all activity is counted.
• 5A hot score ranks the link in the Explore feed based on engagement and recency.

📂 Content Types

Every link on Enwek belongs to one of four formats. Choose the right one when submitting:

Pages — websites, articles, blog posts, news stories, and any standard webpage.

Videos — YouTube, Vimeo, or any direct video URL.

PDFs — documents, research papers, textbooks, ebooks, and downloadable files.

Software — apps, tools, browser extensions, GitHub repositories, and downloadable programs.

Links that don't clearly fit any of the above can be marked Other.

➕ Submit a Link

You need a free Enwek account to submit links. Once logged in:

💬 Community Features

Likes

Liking a link signals it is genuinely useful. Likes carry the most weight in the hot score (+4 points each).

Saves

Save a link to your personal collection to find it later. Saves also boost a link's score (+2 points). Premium users can organise saves into named collections.

Comments

Every link page has a threaded comment section. Share context, ask questions, or start a discussion. Comments add +3 to the hot score.

Clicks

Every time someone clicks through to a link from Enwek, it is counted as a click (+1 to score) and contributes to community-level data about the link's reach.

🗂️ Topics

Topics allow users to organise related links together under a shared subject. A topic might contain educational resources, research materials, software collections, or a curated news digest. Any logged-in user can create and follow topics.

🔥 Hot Score

The hot score determines how links rank in the Explore feed. It is calculated using a time-decay formula:

score = (likes×4 + comments×3 + saves×2 + clicks) ÷ (age_hours + 2)^1.5

New links with rapid engagement rank very high. Older links gradually give way to fresh content unless they continue attracting activity. Scores are refreshed every hour.

🛡️ Community Guidelines

• Do not submit harmful, misleading, or illegal links.
• Avoid spam — submitting the same or near-identical links repeatedly.
• Respect other users in comments. No harassment or hate speech.
• Choose the correct format and category when submitting.
• Use the Report button for any link that violates these guidelines.
• Do not use Enwek for self-promotion without adding genuine value.
