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:
📸 Preserve webpages as Screenshot, PDF, etc. So you can access them even if they are taken down.
👥 Collaborative, so you can share your collections with your friends and colleagues. You can also make them public and share them with the world.
📱 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 theGithub repoandWebsitefor 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!
Do you have any particular way of organizing the links themselves? I’ve moved to hosting all my bookmarks in Obsidian as well and am curious as to how others go about it
I treat links like atomic notes. I add as much detail as I feel like to each link, sometimes I go back and add tags and notes. Then I have an exceptionally poor process that attempts to go back to each link, get the archivebox archive and uses python to attempt to grab the article text (I tried using newspaper3k at first, but it’s unmaintained, so moved to readability). Then sticks the resulting link text into the note.
Honestly It’s a mess, and I really haven’t figured out how to do link things together very well, but, for now, it’s my little disaster of a solution.
Amazing! Have wanted something like this for years, currently use raindrop but not fully, very hesitant of locking myself in. This looks very promising.
I’m very curious… Why do you feel locked in by raindrop? I like that it can regularly upload exports to my Google drive and I can Always download them as html and csv.
This is a fresh install as about 10 minutes ago so using the :latest tag which I believe is the v 2.4.8 build.
Signing up is possible and I was able to create my user account so that’s a good start at least. :)

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
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.

This looks like a good replacement for Raindrop.io

That sounds great, I didn’t look into it enough to know that
Cool stuff, but I don’t see a reason to ditch raindrop.io
Is it possible for you to make it mobile friendly? How does it compare with raindrop?
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!
Installed and no way to login, see this in your GH issues:

Cool app at first glance!
I always wonder why some open source projects choose discord and not matrix?
Discord and matrix are not searchable, they shouldn’t be used at all
That’s a client issue, not a protocol issue
Matrix is cool but its user base is not there yet.
My question is: what’s wrong with browser bookmarks and something SIMPLE to sync them between like devices like floccus (+ webdav server)?
no image/text previews, only small part of the title visible, no sharing, no automatic archiving
Content changes or disappear.
For fun, I booted up a old 2005 laptop with windows xp on it. The bookmarks were all dead. And most weren’t archived in any way.
There’s were many browser games I used to play that is completely lost in time.
How would browser games survive with that solution tho? They most likely require some server…
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.
