Linkding is a very lean bookmark service that provides bookmark management, tag categorization and search. It is built to be self-hosted and runs perfectly fine on a Raspberry Pi. It also provides an import/export function that is compatible with other services like Pinboard.in. After using Pinboard.in for several years I noticed that I basically only ever use the features described above. Also while I like the minim…

Nice project! But can as well provide a dummy account in the demo because it's damn difficult to register for anything on my phone (especially with complicated password rules)

Please start using password manager for your sanity sake.

Poor naming, in my opinion. Don't be surprised to receive a letter from LinkedIn's legal team. I suggest renaming the project ASAP to avoid any potential trademark-related issues.

That's pretty ridiculous. If Microsoft complained about this I would lose a lot of respect for them. This doesn't threaten linked in whatsoever. What other names can't be used because linked in exists? The possibilities are endless.

They already have complained about a similar thing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_v._MikeRoweSoft

Want to call our your password policies. I was on mobile and wanted to see what it was like without opening up my password manager and anything short or stupid (qwerty, ...) was blocked. Was slightly irritating and yet delightful and suggested to me you have a great attention to detail. Will give it a shot!

Edit: originally s/stupid/dumb, but HN changes that to "db". Ha!

I guess those are Django's default password policies and not specific to this project.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm sorry about the confusion, it definitely wasn't my intention to bounce off the LinkedIn brand to promote this. As explained in the README, it's really just a cute name, especially in german. I like your suggestion too, but I would hold off from renaming unless I can say with certainty that it is a common issue.

linkding is a fun and cute name. Please don't change it!

Maybe LinkDing with an uppercase 'D'? (Then still works in the same way in German ? :-))

As the other commenter pointed out, those are just the standard policies provided by Django ;)

hi.. nice project, i can not open the demo right now but seems like a spectre css powered design, i really want to try the demo, guess i have to use play with docker right now

Hi! Yes it indeed uses Spectre CSS which was a very positive experience as well. I actually donated a little to the author since it was exactly what I was looking for.

Docker might seem intimidating at first, but it really isn't hard to get started if you only want to spin up a container.

I added a demo account:

username=linkdemo password=checkitout123

Disclaimer that I'm not responsible for the content that other people add to that account :)
