This looks really neat! Can you share more about the project? Such as: 1. What is the driving vision behind this project? For example is this just scratching a personal itch with hopes it helps others, or is the hope to expand this into a product or company in the future? 2. Is the goal to monetize somehow in the future? If so, what sort of monetization strategies are being considered? For example, "open core", "paid…

Great question, Linkwarden was initially a personal project but then we decided to scale it up into a fully fledged product. Regarding monetization, we already included the paid hosting plan for the users who don’t want to self-host, but the self-hosted option will remain free forever and will always be supported alongside the paid hosting.

Not to diminish the effort here, but I just want to point out (as someone who has tried lots of bookmark managers) that Floccus is everything I want from a bookmark manager (effortless sync across devices and just using the bookmark manager in your browser). I am pointing this out, because I wish someone would have pointed it out to me. https://j11g.com/2023/03/04/floccus-is-the-bookmark-manager-...

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed, and what I've been looking for for years! Open source, lightweight, and stable.

I've used Raindrop[1] for the last few years and it works well - cross device support, archived pages, and tags/folders.

Going to check out Linkwarden since I really like the idea of being able to self-host something similar since Raindrop could one day disappear (#googlereaderneverforget).

A feature Raindrop has is it can export bookmarks to a standard xml file, which I then have a script that automatically adds them to Archivebox[2] for a local copy and to add them to archive.org[3].

Does Linkwarden, have a feature to automatically submit a bookmark to archive.org along with the local copy? That would greatly reduce this setup and have it all in one tool.

2. https://archivebox.io/

Being able to bookmark a Link to archive.org was actually something we wanted to do earlier, but we had to do it a opt-in solution per each link since there might be a website that you don’t want to archive for the public and instead only keep it to yourself.

But note that it is on the roadmap (but not top priority).

Another reason why Safari shouldn't be considered a user friendly browser.

Any relation to Bitwarden, or just a happenstance similarity in names?

It is a Linkedin for Bitwarden.

No please no. We have one LinkedIn, and that's enough pain to humanity.

Can it import a list of URLs and aut-tag them using some API or pre-trained ML? If yes, I bloody want it! No matter the price.

People who consider Safari a friendly browser do not look before iCloud and do not look after iCloud. No matter how it behaves/performs. That’s how Apple ecosystem rolls. And the ones who do not consider it a user friendly browser do not use it.
