Minimal News_

I've been using Karakeep (formerly known as Hoarder) and it's been a great experience so far. One thing they're working on now is a Safari browser extension. I noticed Linkwarden lacks a Safari browser extension - is one on the roadmap?

Lately I've been using MacOS and I've noticed Chromium-based browsers use more resources than the native Safari. This is especially true with Microsoft Edge, which sometimes consumes tens of gigabytes of RAM (possibly a memory leak?). In an attempt to preserve battery life and SSD longevity, Safari is now my go-to browser on MacOS.

Hello everyone, I’m the main developer behind Linkwarden. Glad to see it getting some attention here!

Some key features of the app (at the moment):

- Text highlighting

- Full page archival

- Full content search

- Optional local AI tagging

- Sync with browser (using Floccus)

- Collaborative

Also, for anyone wondering, all features from the cloud plan are available to self-hosted users :)

As a paid product, has anyone used Raindrop as well and have opinions/comparisons? And on the self hosted side, vs Hoarder?

I’ve been considering switching from Raindrop to a self hosted option, but while I like self hosting I’m also leaning towards just paying someone to handle this particular service for me.

Is there any software that can provide verified, trusted archives of websites?

For example, we can go to the Wayback Machine at archive.org to not only see what a website looked like in the past, but prove it to someone (because we implicitly trust The Internet Archive). But the Wayback Machine has deleted sites when a site later changes its robots.txt to exclude it, meaning that old site REALLY disappears from the web forever.

The difficulty for a trusted archive solution is in proving that the archived pages weren't altered, and that the timestamp of the capture was not altered.

It seems like blockchain would be a big help, and would prevent back-dating future snapshots, but there seem to be a lot of missing pieces still.

Thoughts?

Just wish it had offline support. That's really the main use case for me is when I'm traveling and have spotty internet. Read articles offline and hopefully add some to the queue to be saved when I'm online again.

The only issue stopping me from using Linkwarden is that it creates duplicates when importing bookmarks, see https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/issues/442

Recently started selfhosting it. I like it. I tried hoarder, but it was overcomplicated and consumed way more resources. Now it got MCP, so I might use it with n8n, we'll see.

A couple improvements I'd like: I want drag-and-drop link saving.

If I add a reddit link, it doesn't import the reddit thread title, it uses reddit's title in linkwarden (Reddit - the heart of the internet). Same goes for a few other websites like gitlab.

I'd like an MCP.

Resource usage optimization: while it is smaller than karakeep/hoarder, for me it consumes 500-950MB ram, and I have only 500 links added.

An alt suggestion, I use Eagle (https://eagle.cool/) for this.

I started using it primarily for images inspiration collecting but it has grown into my "everything" collecting, including bookmarks.

Libraries can be shared via file sharing (e.g. google drive, dropbox), one time purchase price, amazing software design, extensions, and more.

No experience with this yet, but looking to upgrade from Linkding. Main features I'm looking forward to is syncing the bookmarks with native browsers bookmarks through Floccus, and being able to make highlights on the articles I save.

This looks nice, I like how many of these tools have been surfacing. I recently started using https://readeck.org/, which aims to solve some of the same problems and really like it. Much better than a "bookmark" tool for things like articles.

My two favorite parts of Readeck are:

- it provides a OPDS catalog of your saved content so you can very easily read things on your e-book reader of choice. I use KOReader on a Kindle and have really enjoyed reading my saved articles in the backyard after work.

- you can generate a share link. I have used this to share some articles behind paywalls with friends and family where before I was copying and pasting content into an email.

Started using it a while back. Works rather well, even though some minor UX quirks exist. Self-hosting is easy, too, with Docker Compose. If you're in the market for a web-accessible bookmark manager, maybe give it a go!

I like hoarder(karakeep). It's got an API and mcp server as well to play with now locally and self hosted. I'll check this out as well.

This looks interesting. How feature-crippled is the self hosted version?

I have yet to find anything that has the effort vs. results benefit of CTRL+S -> "Webpage, Single File (*.mhtml)". Even works on mobile.

As of this moment...This post has 4 points and 2 comments...How does it make to number 3 on HN page?

The pushing on their cloud offering almost everywhere (main page: https://linkwarden.app/, GitHub README: https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden, and installation guide: https://docs.linkwarden.app/self-hosting/installation) just give me a bad taste about it.

I understood an open source project need revenue to survive, but the reason why this project grew so large is because of the self-hostable nature, and the push of the cloud offering is the opposite of that.

I really hope this is not the first steps towards enshittification...
