Greetings everyone! Daniel here, I've been working on Linkwarden part-time over the past few months.

Linkwarden is a self-hosted, open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and archive webpages.

Key features:

  • πŸ“Έ Preserve webpages as Screenshot, PDF, etc. So you can access them even if they are taken down.
  • πŸ‘₯ Collaborative, so you can share your collections with your friends and colleagues. You can also make them public and share them with the world.
  • πŸ“± Designed for every screen size, from widescreen monitors down to smartphones.
  • ⚑️ Open source and fully self-hostable!
  • ✨ And so many more features! (Literally, just didn't want to make this post too long. Check out the Github repo and Website for more info...)

If you like what we're doing, you can support the project by either starring ⭐️ the repo to make it more visible to others or by subscribing to the Cloud plan (which helps the project, a lot).

Things like mobile app (PWA) are already on the project roadmap and I'm so excited to share them with you in the future.

Feedback is always welcome, so feel free to share your thoughts!

Cool app at first glance!

I always wonder why some open source projects choose discord and not matrix?

[–] Sanguine@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Matrix is cool but its user base is not there yet.

[–] TheSaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 67 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Then stop driving people to discord alone, at least use both so there’s an option

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So... split the user (and support) base while invariably emphasizing the shortcomings of Matrix?

[–] variants@possumpat.io 34 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You can link them together at least that's how the discord and matrix chats are for our instance are. I can chat from discord and get replies from people in matrix

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah, I was not aware of a way to bridge two channels/servers entirely. I know there are bots that people use to bridge their user accounts though.

If it is fully seamless? Sure. But I don't know why you are bothering then. But if it adds a "Bot" tag or any other hoops, you are still just making a worse experience for everyone. We ran into this back in the IRC days all the time.

[–] ericjmorey@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Of course it isn't seamless, but I have seen good and bad implementations.

[–] astraeus@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

You can create a webhook in Discord and in Matrix that will share messages in channels back and forth

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

By that logic, why are you on lemmy?

I wonder why they don't just set up a forum

[–] ericjmorey@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

Perhaps they could create a community on programming.dev

[–] denast@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

I think Matrix suffers from some issues with large communities, for instance Graphene OS has already had to abandon 2-3 of their main group chats due to same bug and last time I checked (2-3 months ago) there has even been talks of switching to Discord. That is, just in case, a community of some of the most diehard privacy nerds btw

Is there the potential for SingleFile html archives rather than pdf & screenshots? I’d imagine it’d be a fair bit smaller file.

[–] cmhe@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Or other standard archiving formats like WARC.

There also is https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox which looks a bit similar.

[–] Lem453@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Thank you for including oAuth options for sign on. Makes a big difference being able to use the same account for all the things like freshRSS, seafile, immich etc.

Using it since 2 months now and I really like it. Was totally worth a donationπŸ‘

[–] astraeus@programming.dev 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I’ve been using ArchiveBox, this looks a bit more feature-full than ArchiveBox although it seems like ArchiveBox has been pretty stable. Anyone have experience with both, can vouch for the pros and cons?

I may take some time to compare the two. After taking another look at Linkwarden I get the impression it may handle archiving pages differently than ArchiveBox, which isn’t a bad thing it may just not fit the usage of everyone who uses ArchiveBox. The presentation and UI look really good, which is something I find ArchiveBox suffers a bit from.

[–] stackPeek@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

I actually tried to build Raindrop.io-clone like this one one day, but never got the time to work fully on it... Congrats OP!

[–] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Archivebox is in my obsidian workflow, it grabs every link in my vault and archives it. I didn't see an API in linkwarden, perhaps I missed it.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters More Letters
IP Internet Protocol
NAS Network-Attached Storage
SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
SSO Single Sign-On

4 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 14 acronyms.

[–] b3an@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure the IP detected was a user talking about β€˜identity provider(s)’ and not Internet Protocol.

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 6 points 2 years ago

It seems so much nicer than my nextcloud bookmarks!

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

FYI, if you have a synology NAS and want to self-host using the docker install, these instructions work: https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-linkwarden-on-your-synology-nas/

How does making collections public work if you're self hosting?

[–] ericjmorey@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What value can this bring me over features available using a Mozilla (Firefox) account and the Official Wayback Machine Browser Extension?

[–] daniel31x13@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Collaboration, making your collections public, better organization, self-hostedness (idk if that's a word), better UI and so on...

[–] ericjmorey@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you for responding quickly

[–] daniel31x13@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
[–] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

This looks like a good replacement for Raindrop.io

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can imagine that news orgs won't like having publicly available backups of their subscriber only content. Is this a problem that has been considered?

Also, somewhat related, are the plans to turn this a little bit into a P2P archive.org? I mean, if multiple people store snapshots of webpages at different times, the timeline could be rebuilt using their publicly available snapshots.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yeah. I expect basically any publicly available instances to get C&Ds REAL fast.

And a p2p archive.org will basically never work. For the same reasons that the various NSFW lemmy instances get defederated from almost instantly. Because there is room for discussion on sites that highlight nudity in movies. There isn't much room to discuss when it is nothing but revenge porn, "fappening links", ripped OF content, and (inevitably) child porn.

Stuff like this... I am sure there are niches but I am not seeing a lot of benefit over either a folder or a notes app that lets me upload PDFs (or even just google drive). But once you try to build a "community" you are going to have the same moderation issues amplified a hundred fold.

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'm not sure I understand your thoughts on p2p archive.org . What does it have to do with NSFW lemmy? I don't follow.

looks very nice, thanks. would appreciate better documenting of SMTP options (login & password) and support for Authelia.

I wish it was database agnostic. And I'm slightly concerned about the version three rewrite.

It does look awesome, and I'll revisit it to see where things are in six months.

Thats neat. I was searching for something like this. Goes on my list.

[–] Supercharger@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks for your work. I look forward to installing this soon!

Do you have any plans to support importing from similar services such as Raindrop, Omnivore, or Shiori?
