Happy New Year! š
Itās me, Daniel, and Iām back with some huge updates for Linkwarden.
For those who are new to Linkwarden, itās basically a tool for saving and organizing your bookmarks, articles, and documents in one place. You can also share your links with others, 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.
As always before we start, weād like to express our sincere thanks to all of our Cloud subscription users. Your support is crucial to our growth and allows us to continue improving. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey. š
Whatās new:
āØ Local AI Tagging (Optional)
Weāve added a new feature that automatically tags your links based on their content. This feature uses a local AI model to analyze the content of your links and can assign tags to links in 2 ways:
- Auto-generate Tags: When a link is added, Linkwarden will automatically generate and assign tags based on the content of the link.
- Using Predefined Tags: You can also use predefined tags to let Linkwarden auto-assign tags based on the content of the link.
You can enable this feature in the Settings > Preferences page. If youāre self-hosting Linkwarden, please refer to the documentation for more information on how to set up and use this feature.
šØ Customizable Theme
Weāve added a new feature that allows you to customize the theme of your Linkwarden account. You can now choose from a set of predefined colors.
šø Capture articles directly from browser extension
Sometimes certain websites prevent bots from accessing their content. In such cases, you can now capture the article directly from your browser using the Linkwarden browser extension and upload it to Linkwarden. Get it from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons.
Also please give us a 5-star rating if you like it :D
š View the Preserved Formats on Links
Each link now shows the available preserved formats. This allows you to easily see the preserved formats for the link and open the link in the desired format in a new tab.
ā¬ļø Import from Omnivore
Weāve added a new import option to allow you to import your links from Omnivore. You can now easily migrate your links from Omnivore to Linkwarden.
š RSS feed for Public Collections
Public collections now have an RSS feed link which lets others to follow your public collections and receive updates when you add new links.
š Subscribe to RSS feed
Linkwarden now supports subscribing to RSS feeds. You can subscribe to any RSS feed and Linkwarden will automatically fetch and save new items from the feed.
āļø Choose whatās shown on the Dashboard
You can now choose to show/hide your pinned links and recent links sections on the dashboard. This allows you to customize the dashboard to your liking.
š Added More Translations
Thanks to the collaborators, weāve added Polish and Russian translations to Linkwarden. If youād like to help us translate Linkwarden into your language, check out #216.
ā And moreā¦

threaded - newest
Is this something like Omnivore? Iām still searching for a replacement and the fact that Linkwarden provides an Omnivore import option makes it very tempting
.
Can you choose how deep it archives webpages
Not as of now
Right now Iām using FreshRSS for my RSS feeds (using lire iOS app) and Hoarder to save stuff I want to read later. I can use the Hoarder app and share from any app (including lire or Firefox) to save articles as well as images etc. Can Linkwarden do something similar or would it be desktop only?
The update sound great. I tested both linkwarden and hoarder multiple times (via self-host). I will eventually migrate to one of them but imo itās still way to early. There are still way to many features missing to replace my Firefox bookmarks, which are extensively tagged and setup with shortcuts.
But the most important features which both apps are missing is a āgenericā import and export function. Most importantly being able to import and export from the browsers but also from and to the competitors (linkwarden to hoarder and backā¦). I donāt like being vendor locked, especially with open-source apps.
That being said. Feature-wise you are getting there So Iām positive that Iāll use it in future. Keep up the great work.
I noticed on their site they say they have a import/export feature. If itās not what you are describing then what is it?
Well, you can export from and to linkwarden and are far as I remember from the last time I tried it, you can export a generic json (which canāt be used to import to your browser). Not sure what changed since then, the New changelog says you can import omnivore exports now.
Thank you! Ai tagging sound like a super cool feature hope it works well enough.
No problem!
Great work Daniel!
Thanks!
Why wouldnāt I just use the bookmark manager in my browser?
Did you read what features linkwarden has?
One feature your browser wouldnāt do without some sort of add-in is create archived snapshots of pages in various formats. Helpful if pages go down.
Thatās just one feature. Iād guarantee there are moreā¦
If you read a bit about it Iām sure youāll learn more.
I did read and didnāt see anything about archiving pages.
This is just whatās new. Their documentation and dedicated pages about linkwarden have more info.
Iāve only recently started using Linkwarden and love it so far. One thing Iāve wondered about, and donāt see mentioned in this update, is the ability to filter by a combination of tags. Letās say I have a bunch of bookmarks tagged with
#news, and a load of others with#tech, if I want to see my saved links that are tagged with both#techand#newsit seems like this is currently impossible? Or am I missing something?I feel like this is basic functionality for any sort of software with a robust tagging system, and have been surprised to see that, to my knowledge, not a single bookmark manager has implemented such functionality.
How does it compare to archivebox in regards to specifically saving content thatās a mix of websites and YT videos?
I have a question which may turn out to be a feature request
The question: How easy would it be to use Linkwarden to check whether I have already bookmarked something from the site Iām currently on? To clarify why Iām asking this, I have been generally trying to be more mindful in what media I consume, which means the things I enjoy reading are fragmented pieces that I may stumble upon through word of mouth.
For example, I read post āaā on blog āAā and I enjoy it so much that I bookmark it (āAaā) so I can find it for later sharing. Many months later, I am linked to post ābā on site āAā, but I donāt remember whether I have been to this site before, and knowing that I had previously enjoyed post Aa may prompt me to actually read post Ab (or properly set aside for later)
Native Firefox bookmarks donāt do this, I know that much. Itās something Iāve been meaning to figure out how to solve, because one of the delightful, if somewhat overwhelming parts about floating on the āsmall webā, is the trust that builds up gradually after seeing sometime put out consistently good coverage
I think youāre talking about duplicate link prevention, thatās already part of the features and you can enable it in the settings.
I donāt think duplicate link protection is what I mean, unless Iām misunderstanding how that feature works. I.e. if I had bookmarks āexample.com/aā , āexample.com/bā, these are duplicates even though theyāre at the same site. But if I visit the page āexample.com/cā and I went to go bookmark it, I would like to be able to see a thing that says '"from this site, you have also bookmarked: āexample.com/aā , āexample.com/bā.
I donāt imagine this is possible. I was probably going to make something to give me that functionality at some point, because I havenāt seen anyone having the same problem as me.
Looks very cool! Added it to my home lab to-do!
There should be a self hostable home-lab-todo service. Iām gonna add that to my list.
ā¦I initially thought this as a joke but now Iām feeling interested in something thatās sort of a hub of services that can be installed with a click. Like via tteckās (rip the š) proxmox helper scripts that install LXCs preconfigured for the service. š¤
@Burghler @Knossos
Do it! I'd love an LXC "hub". It seems the group that took over tteck's scripts is focused on *arr stack, which I have no interest in.
I just spun up Wallabag on my server the other day to replace Omnivore. Im going to take a look at this, but does anyone have experience or thoughts on how this compares? Iām not so deep into it yet that I couldnāt switch to Linkwarden if itās better.
My main uses would be archiving articles and highlighting passages.
I find it to be a much better experience than wallabag from a UX perspective.
Archiving is great for individual pages. Not sure about highlighting, I havenāt tried that.
If you want to bulk archive a site, something like archivebox would be a better fit. (It doesnāt sound like thatās your goal though.)
It would be cool if this evolved into some sort of decentralized internet archive.
Finally a good use of AI that doesnāt overpromise functionality it canāt actually provide. Just a system for rewriting page text as tags. This is a feature Iāll legitimately use.
Those screenshots, the edges for the top image, remind me so much of Vista/7.
