Greetings everyone! Daniel here, I’ve been working on Linkwarden part-time over the past few months.
Linkwarden is a self-hosted, open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and archive webpages.
Key features:
- 📸 Preserve webpages as Screenshot, PDF, etc. So you can access them even if they are taken down.
- 👥 Collaborative, so you can share your collections with your friends and colleagues. You can also make them public and share them with the world.
- 📱 Designed for every screen size, from widescreen monitors down to smartphones.
- ⚡️ Open source and fully self-hostable!
- ✨ And so many more features! (Literally, just didn’t want to make this post too long. Check out the Github repo and Website for more info…)
If you like what we’re doing, you can support the project by either starring ⭐️ the repo to make it more visible to others or by subscribing to the Cloud plan (which helps the project, a lot).
Things like mobile app (PWA) are already on the project roadmap and I’m so excited to share them with you in the future.
Feedback is always welcome, so feel free to share your thoughts!

it’s a lot to ask people to do two of everything all the time. Plus if none of your friends are on it it’s hard to find the motivation.
The issue is basically an inverse of the “network effect.” Ultimately if your friends and colleagues are not in a space, you are most likely not going to invest the resources because how you also have to advocate for them to swap to a platform with 1) the exact same thing they’re already getting (almost always with less functionality/compatibility) but 2) none of their friends or colleagues. And if you don’t invest the resources, then people are not going to go. It’s a chicken/egg problem with no easy solution, except generally API tools that make flipping over seamless. And with the way the web is going now, that door is starting to close as well.
Oh yeah for sure man, I completely understand that effect. I’ve tried switching to guilded from discord and while yeah it’s ultimately better than discord, it’s a pain in the ass when people just outright refuse to move platforms because muh convenience… but if that’s to change we need to stop using discord as the primary communication method when it could just be a backup or something similiar.
I’m on my last straw with discord, most of my friends have even said they’re going to leave discord if they keep up like this, or if they end up paywalling previously-free features.
Nobody said to do two of everything, having more than one chat app is common nowadays and it seriously isn’t a hassle for the end-user.
I’d imagine the biggest issue there is simply moderation but there’s gotta be a way that can be figured out by somebody right? Just gotta expose enough people to an issue and somebody will eventually figure out a potential solution.
Yeah, I definitely feel you there. I’ve been trying to get some friends to move over to revolt but no success yet lol
Never even heard of revolt lol, maybe that’s part of the issue… where’s that one xkcd comic about standards when ya need it
Likewise, I’ve never heard of guilded lol so you’re definitely on to something.
Also, I should’ve asked if you were familiar with the network effect instead of going on a soapbox about it. Sorry about that. I have a bad habit of monologuing.
Thx for the good explanation yet I will make an account on website xy for support or connect with the people that use the product.
Matrix isn’t some very nieche buggy thing anymore. A lot of people are using it daily and I rarely see any open source app/project that doesn’t use matrix.
