RetroFedLinkwarden 2.16 - open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, read, annotate, and fully preserve what matters (tons of new features!) š [AIP]
https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden
Hello everyone! Daniel here, and Iām back with a new Linkwarden release across web and mobile.
For those who are wondering, Linkwarden is an open-source collaborative bookmarking tool that keeps permanent snapshot of the content of the links you save, so you can still access them even if the original content is no longer available. Linkwarden is available as a Cloud offering, or you can get the source code on GitHub and self-host it on your own server with no strings attached. If you find it useful, consider starring the repo so others can discover it too!
So letās get into it.
Whatās new in mobile:
- Support for self-signed certificates and custom request headers: Android now accepts self-signed certificates, and you can add custom request headers to the appās requests. This makes the app usable with instances behind a reverse proxy or auth layer like Authelia or Cloudflare Access.
- Re-preserve link formats: You can now re-generate a linkās preserved formats (screenshot, PDF, readable view) from the mobile app, useful if the original preservation failed or the page has changed since.
- Change linkās banner: You can now set a custom banner image for a link when editing it.
- Access more account options in Settings: Settings now has a āMore Account Settingsā option that opens your full account settings inside the app, using your existing session.
(Android is out, iOS is still in review and it should be out later today.)
Whatās new in web:
Refreshed, more modern design: The top navbar is removed and its functionality moved into the sidebar, plus a number of smaller UX fixes. ļæ¼
New search modal with recent search history: Press
āK(orCtrl+K) anywhere to open a search modal. It also keeps your recent searches stored locally in the browser. ļæ¼New āSystemā theme option: The theme can now follow your OS light/dark preference instead of being set manually. ļæ¼
PNG support for link banners: Link banners now accept PNG uploads in addition to JPEG.
Thereās moreā¦
As always, thereās a long tail of smaller improvements across the web and the mobile app.

Thanks!

Iāve been using firefox since it was firebird and have a large collection of bookmarks, so much that I rarely use the feature anymore as it would just be adding to the pile, would this be a good solution to try to organize them or is there a better tool for that?
Yep, thatās actually one of the use cases I built Linkwarden for. Would love to hear how it works for your collection if you give it a try.
Super Iāll give it a whirl then, will do! Iām not super timely but Iāll get to it haha. Thanks for making it! :)
Happy to help!
Please also add the disclosure, see expanded details for rule 8 and the examples post
Thanks!

Much appreciated!
No problem! Thanks for your work!
Would you ever offer a cloud plan thatās just a bookmarking service and nothing else, at much much lower cost of course?
You know, something like this. If it doesnāt financially and logistically make sense then itās okay and one would understand. Thank you for this cool FOSS tool by the way.
Very happy to have this. Thank you
Really glad to hear that, thank you!
I hope you one day add client sourced snapshot content so pages behind an authentication layer can be archived. Would also make for better snapshots on pages where pesky cookie pop-ups cover the screen..
Thereās a browser extension which lets you upload the screenshot of the page
And you can also upload from singlefile
Thanks for the info. Will check it out.
Linkwarden is the gold standard imho. Covers everything I would ever need to do with bookmarks and more. I updated the last time OP posted here. Solid app.
Awesome! Thanks for the support!
This looks cool! Does it support tracking websites for changes as well, such as changedetection.io? And does it beat bot-detection?
Thanks!
This is outside the scope of this project.
This is a cat and mouse game. It beats some, for others we have to come up with ideas and workarounds like using the browser extension or SingleFile to upload the pages from the client side.
I see, thanks :)
How does this compare to readeck?
how do I know that this isnāt used to create crawling and AI training data?
You review the open source code yourself.
It would be a service layer question:
If you donāt trust the hosted service you can always self-host it.
If you donāt trust yourselfā¦
Social bookmarking is reddit and lemmy and piefed. Self-hosting is not going to cover this kind of tool that benefits from more users.
I may be wrong, but it seems to me there is a misunderstanding of what Linkwarden is.
whatās missing? The cached page feature?
