linkwarden VS monolith

Try Linkwarden - https://linkwarden.app

- Preserve bookmarks by capturing a screenshot of the saved page.

- Open-source and fully self-hostable.

- Support for collaborative bookmarking.

P.S. I’m the maintainer of the project.

This is one of the main reasons I created Linkwarden - an open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and preserve webpages:

Someone posted this to HN a few days ago

It looks very appealing, but I haven’t had a chance to try it myself just yet.

Great timing! Check this tool out: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36942308

Linkwarden is a fully self-hostable, open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and archive webpages.

Linkwarden was built using TypeScript and NextJS, backed by a PostgreSQL database for the lighter-weight data. The rest of the data can be chosen either to be stored on the filesystem, or stored on the cloud on Digital Ocean Space/AWS S3, the reason for the cloud storage solution was for the Cloud offering [1], we realized that the preserved webpages (archives) take up space pretty quickly and S3 was much more efficient for this task. On the front-end we used TailwindCSS for styling and Zustand for state management.

You could either use our Cloud offering (with 14-day free trial) to directly support this project and experience Linkwarden, or you could self-host it on your own machine and have maximum flexibility.

Also please make sure to visit/star our GitHub repo [2].

Feel free if you had any questions, we'll do our best to answer it.

Monolith is a CLI tool for saving complete web pages as a single HTML file.

I have never used monolith to say with any certainty, but two things in your description are worth highlighting between the goals of WARC versus the umpteen bazillion "save this one page I'm looking at as a single file" type projects:

1. WARC is designed, as a goal, to archive the request-response handshake. It does not get into the business of trying to make it easy for a browser to subsequently display that content, since that's a browser's problem

2. Using your cited project specifically, observe the number of "well, save it but ..." options <https://github.com/Y2Z/monolith#options> which is in stark contrast to the archiving goals I just spoke about. It's not a good snapshot of history if the server responded with `content-type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1` back in the 90s but "modern tools" want everything to be UTF-8 so we'll just convert it, shall we? Bah, I don't like JavaScript, so we'll just toss that out, shall we? And so on

For 100% clarity: monolith, and similar, may work fantastic for any individual's workflow, and I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum; but I do want to highlight that all things being equal it should always be possible to derive monolith files from warc files because the warc files are (or at least have the goal of) perfect fidelity of what the exchange was. I would guess only pcap files would be of higher fidelity, but also a lot more extraneous or potentially privacy violating details

console $ nix-init default.nix -u https://github.com/Y2Z/monolith [...] (press enter to select the defaults) $ nix-build -E "(import { }).callPackage ./. { }" [...] $ result/bin/monilith --version monolith 2.7.0

For example, here’s a command-line tool to save webpages as HTML files: https://github.com/Y2Z/monolith

monolith: Convert any webpage into a single HTML file with all assets inlined.

There is also a program (monolith: https://github.com/Y2Z/monolith) that does the same

besides wget, for single pages I use monolith https://github.com/Y2Z/monolith

You can pipe the URLs through something like monolith[1].
