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 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?

            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

              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.

          not a protocol issue

          It is. There’s no way for search engines to join all the servers and index them all, thus there’s no way to efficiently find information on them without already being there.

            Are you talking about crawlers not being able to index matrix messenges?

            It’s not a website, there’s no chat that’s being indexed by crawlers, afaik.

            You could index them if you wanted.

            A chat is meant to be ephemeral. Unlike with a forum where it is a goal to have long lasting information sharing.

            Usually you want to things for a project, one forum and one chat. The chat is more informal and not meant to replace a proper forum. You can basically chit chat in a chat but not in a forum.

              The problem is many people are using them like forums, so a lot of potentially useful info is lost (which is more of an user issue than anything else)

              That’s the problem, discussions should happen on the open web, not hidden in chatrooms

                There’s nothijg hidden on matrix. You can verify yourself, go to the space of Nextcloud, GNOME, KDE, OPENSUSE, FEDORA, flatpak, neo store, libretube, etc. Nothing is hidden.

                  it’s not literally hidden, but it’s not easily searchable because since it’s a chat, it’s not indexable on search engines. A forum is a better solution to avoid the same questions being asked 1000x and to expose great solutions and advices.

      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
