Hello everyone!
It’s been about 3 months since the last release, and this one took a bit longer than usual. A lot of work went into polishing and refining both the web and mobile apps to make sure it was worth the wait.
Today, we’re excited to announce Linkwarden 2.14!
For those who are new to Linkwarden, it’s a tool for collecting, organizing, reading, and preserving webpages, articles, and documents in one place. Linkwarden is available as a Cloud offering, or you can self-host it on your own server.
This release focuses on performance, usability, security, and platform upgrades.
What’s new:
🗂️ Improved team collaboration
Collections and subcollections got some important improvements.
Members and their permissions can now be propagated to subcollections, and collection admins can now create subcollections as well.
🏷️ Improved tag browsing with pagination
Tags now support pagination, making large tag lists easier to browse.
This helps keep things faster and more manageable, especially in places like the sidebar and tags page.
⚡ Faster interface with optimistic rendering
We added optimistic rendering to some of the slower parts of the app, especially around links and collections.
That means actions like updating or deleting items can now feel much more immediate, since the UI updates right away instead of waiting for the full request to finish.
🚀 Platform upgrades: Next.js 15 and Expo 54
Linkwarden now runs on newer foundations across both web and mobile:
- Next.js 15 for the web app
- Expo 54 for the mobile app
These upgrades improve compatibility and give us a stronger base for future improvements.
✨ Improved user experience
This release brings a number of user experience improvements across the app, especially around search and settings.
Search is now more helpful and easier to discover, while settings are cleaner and easier to navigate.
đź”’ Security improvements for submitted links
We improved how submitted links are validated on the server for safer and more reliable processing. We recommend updating to 2.14 as soon as possible.
✅ And more…
As always, this release also includes smaller fixes, UI cleanups, dependency updates, and under-the-hood improvements across the app.
Full Changelog: github.com/linkwarden/…/v2.13.5...v2.14.0
Thanks!
Thanks to everyone who’s been using Linkwarden, reporting bugs, suggesting improvements, contributing, and supporting the project along the way.
This release took a little longer than usual, but a lot of care went into making sure it was worth the wait. It also gives us a much stronger foundation for what’s coming next, and we’re looking forward to sharing more with you in the coming months.
If you’re interested in trying Linkwarden without dealing with server setup and maintenance, our Cloud offering is the easiest way to get started.
We hope you enjoy Linkwarden 2.14!

Man, am I the only one who sees emojis used in place of bullet points (especially “✨”, whatever the shit that’s supposed to convey; polish?) and thinks “An LLM definitely wrote this”?
My eyes just slide right over it, even if it’s something I initially found interesting.
No, you are definitely not the only one. I tend to be more judgemental of projects that contain prolific use of emojis in general, but that has been ongoing since before AI became popular.
The worst part it’s not that LLM’s do it, its that humans do it. I don’t mind the occasional use of it on things that would benefit from a quick scan (like a website nav bar) but too many people go overboard and sugar coat their text with icons and corpo mumbo jumbo.
Totally feel your sentiment man.
We’ve been active before the AI-slop era, even before the existence of ChatGPT :)
