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!

    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 think they do it to be funny (I hope). Like making fun of the folks on Facebook who write stuff like “I hearby declare that all of my posts are my property and can’t be harvested for data” or whatever.

            It refers to some old forum signature iirc. I saw an explanation of it in some other Lemmy thread some time ago, though I don’t exactly remember where or when.

            It’s an unenforceable Creative Commons “stamp” of sorts where the author says it can be used as long as they are attributed, any major changes are noted, and the purpose isn’t commercial.

            The last part is the big thing but public forum comments aren’t really shielded by it in any meaningful way. At best it’s a deterrent because it signals “this person may annoy you about it.”
