    ⚡️⚡️⚡️Self-hosted collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize, and preserve webpages and articles.

  • 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.

  • linkding

    Self-hosted bookmark manager that is designed be to be minimal, fast, and easy to set up using Docker.

  • I'll definitely give it a short this weekend. Are there any plans to support different authentication methods? Like LDAP, OAuth2 etc?

    I'm using linkding at the moment https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding which also has a browser addon, the only missing thing is some form central user auth but we're using it as it is.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Here's a (my own) lightweight alternative, built using django & no javascript: https://gitlab.com/sodimel/share-links

    It allows you to store links (title & language of the page, a pdf of the page, assign tags, to include them in collections), it has a very simple (moderated) comment system, a lightweight ui (remember: no js), multi-accounts (permissions), translations, some rudimentary stats and some other things (access a random page!).

    See my own instance for an example with thousands of links: https://links.l3m.in/

  • DownloadNet

    💾 DownloadNet - All content you browse online available offline. Search through the full-text of all pages in your browser history. ⭐️ Star to support our work!

  • If you want full-text-search with archiving check out my project, DiskerNet. https://github.com/dosyago/DiskerNet --> also well done on LinkWarden! Looks like a great product! :)

  • ArchiveBox

    🗃 Open source self-hosted web archiving. Takes URLs/browser history/bookmarks/Pocket/Pinboard/etc., saves HTML, JS, PDFs, media, and more...

  • 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.

  • xSyn

    Discontinued Compact server implementing xBrowserSync API using Golang and BoltDB

  • xBrowserSync is another one.

    You can use https://github.com/ishani/xSyn for self-hosting.

  • hamsterbase-highlighter

    highlighter for notion, hamsterbase

  • 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 https://github.com/hamsterbase/hamsterbase-highlighter, 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.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
