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!

Is there the potential for SingleFile html archives rather than pdf & screenshots? I’d imagine it’d be a fair bit smaller file.
Or other standard archiving formats like WARC.
There also is https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox which looks a bit similar.
Cool app at first glance!
I always wonder why some open source projects choose discord and not matrix?
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.
I’m intrigued. How does it work? Do you have a link or an article to point me to?
The general principle is called single sign on (sso).
The idea is that instead of each all keeping track of users itself, there is another app (sometimes called an identity provider) that does this. Then when you try to log into an app, it takes to the to login of your identity provider instead. When the IP says you are the correct user, it sends a token to the app saying to let you access your account.
The huge benefits are if you are already logged into the IP on a browser for example, the other apps will login automatically without having to put in your password again.
Also for me the biggest benefit is not having to manage passwords for a large number of apps so family that uses my server have 1 account which gives them access to jellyfin, seafile, immich, freshrss etc. If they change that password it changes it for everything. You can enforce minimum password requirements. You can also add 2FA to any app now immediately.
I use Authentik as my identity provider: https://goauthentik.io/https://goauthentik.io/
There’s good guides to settings it up with traefik so that you get let encrypt certificates and can use traefik for proxy authentication on web based apps like sonarr. There are many different authentication methods an app can choose to use and Authentik essentially supports everything.
SSO should really be the standard for self hosted apps because this way they don’t have to worry about ensuring they have the latest security for user management etc. The app just allows a dedicated identity provider to worry about user management security so the app devs can focus on just the app.
Has anyone been able to get the Firefox extension to work with a self-hosted installation? It’s not accepting my login address.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
