Show HN: Linkwarden – An open source collaborative bookmark manager

1

Raindrop.io

I like to save the best / most interesting links I come across as I browse the web. It can come in handy to pull up a blog post I read a while ago or remember some new sass product or developer tool I wanted to check out. I'm using https://raindrop.io now which works great for this. When I looked into it I was surprised that browsers don't have this kind of bookmark management built-in. I'd be very happy with two small additions to browsers: (1) display by / sort by date added and (2) a small separate freeform text box for notes (so I can describe why I saved the link). (Optionally it could be nice if browsers adopted some standard sync mechanism for bookmarks, maybe based on WebDAV like the Floccus extension). Then again, these dedicated external bookmark managers do have nice features like tags, search, and offline downloads or page screenshots. Those are all great! Linkwarden looks like a nice product. Looks like it would tick all the boxes for my use-case and the design is pleasant. I like that it's open source and has a fair price for the hosted offering. Maybe I'll give it a try!

ArchiveBox

I've used Raindrop[1] for the last few years and it works well - cross device support, archived pages, and tags/folders. Going to check out Linkwarden since I really like the idea of being able to self-host something similar since Raindrop could one day disappear (#googlereaderneverforget). A feature Raindrop has is it can export bookmarks to a standard xml file, which I then have a script that automatically adds them to Archivebox[2] for a local copy and to add them to archive.org[3]. Does Linkwarden, have a feature to automatically submit a bookmark to archive.org along with the local copy? That would greatly reduce this setup and have it all in one tool. 1. https://raindrop.io/ 2. https://archivebox.io/ 3. https://ecliptik.com/bookmarking-with-raindrop/.

HamsterBase Highlighter

I suggest trying out HamsterBase (HamsterBase is not open source). 1. It supports direct binding with SingleFile, enabling one-click web page saving. Because it saves in the browser, all other plugins will take effect. 2. It provides an open-source plugin <a href="https://github.com/hamsterbase/hamsterbase-highlighter">https://github.com/hamsterbase/hamsterbase-highlighter</a>, allowing you to annotate directly in the browser, and it automatically saves a snapshot of the web page when you annotate. When you visit the page again, it automatically displays the previous snapshots. 3. All data is stored on your local device, with both a docker version and a desktop version available. Different versions support P2P synchronization.
