Announcing Linkwarden 2.11
Today, weāre excited to announce the release of Linkwarden 2.11! š„³ This update brings significant improvements and new features to enhance your experience.
For those who are new to Linkwarden, itās basically a tool for saving and organizing webpages, articles, and documents all in one place. Itās great for bookmarking stuff to read later, and you can also share your resources, create public collections, and collaborate with your team. Linkwarden is available as a Cloud subscription or you can self-host it on your own server.
This release brings a range of updates to make your bookmarking and archiving experience even smoother. Letās take a look:
Whatās new:
āØ Customizable Readable View
You can now configure the font style, font size, line height, and line width for the readable view. This allows you to create a more personalized reading experience that suits your preferences.
This feature essentially gives Linkwarden what other read-it-later apps like Pocket offered.
š Add Notes to Highlights
You can now add notes to your highlights in the readable view and view them in the highlights sidebar. This is a great way to jot down your thoughts or insights while reading, making it easier to remember key points later.
āļø Customizable Dashboard
The dashboard has received a major overhaul! You can now customize it to show the information that matters most to you. Choose from various widgets like recent links, pinned links, or your saved collections. This makes it easier to access the content you care about right from the dashboard.
š„ Import from Pocket
Good news for Pocket users! You can now import your saved links from Pocket into Linkwarden. This makes it easy to transition to Linkwarden without losing your existing bookmarks.
š Crowdin translation
Weāve integrated Crowdin for translations, making it easier to contribute translations for Linkwarden. If youāre interested in helping out with translations, check out our Crowdin page.
To start translating a new language, please contact us so we can set it up for you. New languages will be added once they reach at least 50% translation completion.

šØ Improved UI
Thanks to Shadcn UI, the user interface has been improved with a more modern and polished look. This update enhances the overall user interface, making it easier to use Linkwarden.
ā And moreā¦
There are also a bunch of smaller improvements and fixes in this release to keep everything running smoothly.
Full Changelog: github.com/linkwarden/ā¦/v2.10.2...v2.11.0
Want to skip the technical setup?
If youād rather skip server setup and maintenance, our Cloud Plan takes care of everything for you. Itās a great way to access all of Linkwardenās featuresāplus future updatesāwithout the technical overhead.
We hope you enjoy these new enhancements, and as always, weād like to express our sincere thanks to all of our supporters and contributors. Your feedback and contributions have been invaluable in shaping Linkwarden into what it is today. š
threaded - newest
Some nice improvements to an already great piece of kit. Good job yāall. Looking forward to updating.
Glad you like it!
Itās definitely a solid replacement for Raindrop.io.
nice! will try this out asap!
Thanks, lmk how it goes!
Howās it compare to Hoarder/Karakeep?
imho, Karakeep is more for data preservation. Readeck is for articles you want to read later. Linkwarden is for important bookmarks like online accounts, billing accounts, etc. However, there is nothing that keeps you from using either as a bookmark app.
Hmm, Iād consider Linkwarden as a mix of Pocket and ArchiveBox, with collaboration functionality.
That works too.
Why would you say Karakeep is more for data preservation than Linkwarden? Doesnāt Linkwarden has all the features that Karakeep has, and more?
I say that because thatās how I use the three:
Readeck: Read it later Karakeep: Data preservation Linkwarden: Important links like business accounts, online accounts, etc.
Ah, gotcha
Donāt try to make sense of it. Just think āOh yeah, itās that oooold guyā and nod sympathetically.
Nah, I get it. Iāve held on to certain products or services before because I liked them for a specific purpose, even when people tried to get me to switch to others. And itās not like Karakeep is the wrong choice, it does what youāre using it for very well. Until the whole trademark/copyright crisis recently, I used it too. I only switched to Linkwarden when the future of the project was maybe in doubt.
I used linkwarden. But I donāt use their save article functionality. All I do is to use it as a bookmark manager. In that sense its a little bloated for me. Would like to try some other, please recommended.
I use good old wallabag for read it later because of how well it works in fbreader on my Kobo. Linkwarden for the bookmarks. Itās not really bloated if you think about how the archiving preserves copies of bookmarks in case the site goes down, and more crucially, allows for full text search.
Worse. KaraKeep was partially inspired by Linkwarden.
Weāll try this again the new updates look great
There are so many of these I want to use one but I canāt choose
Linkwarden is very polished, has some neat features for bookmarks. Readeck is nice for quick read-it-later data. I use it a lot when I see an article I want to read, Iāll save it, and read it in the evening laying in bed with a bowl. Karakeep is for data preservation. Those are my top three.
Linkwarden says itās for data preservation, too. Whatās the difference between it and karakeep then?
There is no real reason why you canāt use Linkwarden for data preservation. I tend to keep things separate. Read it later articles go in Readeck, data I want to save goes in Karakeep, and important bookmarks like online accounts, business links, etc go in Linkwarden. They are pretty much interchangeable, itās just my wonky way of keeping everthing separated.
Thanks.
No major difference its just what works for you. I used Hoarder (KaraKeep) in the early days but found I preferred the Linkwarden UI particularly on mobile so switched. But theyāre both great.
Strangely Iāve found I tend not to use it for everyday bookmarks use (Iāve put those in a Joplin note). Instead I use Linkwarden for interesting stuff I might need at some point - long read articles or information for projects that Iāll be undertaking in the future, be that videos or written guides. You can set folders (topics) & tags for ease of retrieval.
Thanks.
I ported my data from Hoarder/Karakeep around the time of their copyright crisis, and Iāve loved the software so far.
All I need is for them to fix the public collection RSS feed bug where they embed āhttps,httpā in the feed xml if youāre behind a reverse proxy - which breaks parsing
This reminds me of stumbleupon from way back when. Neat idea
is it possible to use sqlite as db engine? Iād like to avoid running yet another postgres container.
Is it bad to have one central postgres for all your containers?
probably not.
itās more work than using sqlite inside of the applicationās container though.
How easy is setting up an sqlite container as opposed to just connecting to an existing postgres container network? Genuine question since Iāve never tried using sqlite before.
SQLite doesnāt need a networked setup at all. What the poster above is asking is an option for linkwarden to just use embedded SQLite as its db engine. For apps I build I just embed SQLite into the binary, no db network needed, the binary just sets up a db file at startup in say ~/.config/app/db.file and off to the races. If you donāt need to access it from multiple contexts SQLite is hard to beat.
Looks like it github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/issues/94#issuecā¦
doesnāt inspire confidence github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/issues/94#issuecā¦
Have they fixed the titles of saved links being clipped for no reason?
I found Linkwarden entirely unusable because of this and switched to KaraKeep the moment I realized theyād mastered the ancient magic of āMake sure the link titles are actually fully visibleā
EDIT: It would appear not since I can see theyāre clipped in the thumbnail lol. All that wasted space sitting there doing nothing when it could beā¦ containing the title of the link.
No native Android app yet?
Mobile app is in development :)
There are a couple of unofficial Android clients on F-Droid:
Is there a way to regenerate AI tags for bookmarks that failed to do so? I couldnāt find that option in the settings.
Thanks - fantastic work š„³
Where has this been all my life?! Looking forward for the mobile app!
