Linkwarden - An open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and preserve webpages

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 the https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden and https://linkwarden.app/ 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 https://linkwarden.app/#pricing (which helps the project, a lot).

Things like mobile app 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!

Cyberflunk,

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.

eduardm,

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

haui_lemmy,

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

Dehydrated,

This looks like a good replacement for Raindrop.io

Supercharger,

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?

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

cmhe,

Or other standard archiving formats like WARC.

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

sanqueue,

Is it possible for you to make it mobile friendly? How does it compare with raindrop?

So is this like a self-hosted equivalent to pinboard.in? Can I import all my existing Pinboard bookmarks including their tags?

LolaCat,

Very intriguing, will definitely check out! Nice work :)

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.

node815,

Installed and no way to login, see this in your GH issues:

github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/issues/415

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. :)

Churbleyimyam,

This sounds very cool and I’d definitely use it.

MashedTech,

Cool stuff, but I don’t see a reason to ditch raindrop.io

Raindrop doesn’t seem to be self-hosted? This is the selfhosted community…

MashedTech,

My bad.

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!

iarigby,

Amazing! Have wanted something like this for years, currently use raindrop but not fully, very hesitant of locking myself in. This looks very promising.

MashedTech,

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.

iarigby,

That sounds great, I didn’t look into it enough to know that

My question is: what’s wrong with browser bookmarks and something SIMPLE to sync them between like devices like floccus (+ webdav server)?

Potatos_are_not_friends, (edited )

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.

TCB13,
@TCB13@lemmy.world avatar

How would browser games survive with that solution tho? They most likely require some server…

huangrydude,

Games from that time were actually running mostly in your browser. Meaning that the host, for example Miniclip served you the JavaScript and other files of the game which were then executed locally. So technically you could archive those games as long as you can load them up at least once initially.

TCB13,
@TCB13@lemmy.world avatar

Potentially yes, but for instance I’ve been looking for a way to have the following players offline and it seems harder than expected:

Any tips?

centof,

If you logged and saved all the files the first one requested you could potentially make it work. You could manually change of the file paths in the html if you only doing a few of them. There’s only like 10 or so paths that would need to be modified. The PHP ones are likely harder to make work as php is a server side language and you don’t likely have easy access to PHP server and everything that goes with it.

Anyway thanks for the link to to mynoise.net. It looks like a well designed, carefully crafted website.

TCB13,
@TCB13@lemmy.world avatar

Yes yes, but what about magic / automated solutions? Wasn’t that the great advantage of Linkwarden?

centof,

It’s an open source solution designed to scale to what the web was originally designed for and excels at. Documents. Specifically hyperlinked documents or webpages. You can’t reasonably expect an archival service to archive something that is by definition not static like an interactive web app.

lud,

Most browser games are quite simple and aren’t running on a remote server.

TCB13,
@TCB13@lemmy.world avatar

Oh you mean the ones here: flashpointarchive.org and www.flashgamearchive.com

lud,

Yeah, flashpoint is great.

iarigby,

no image/text previews, only small part of the title visible, no sharing, no automatic archiving
