Show HN: Linkwarden – An open source collaborative bookmark manager

#1

Post by daniel31x13 »

Hey there HN! Meet Linkwarden, a fully self-hostable, open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and archive webpages.

Please also visit/star our GitHub repo [1].

Linkwarden was built using TypeScript and NextJS, backed by a PostgreSQL database for the lighter-weight data. The rest of the data can be chosen either to be stored on the filesystem, or stored on the cloud on Digital Ocean Space/AWS S3, the reason for the cloud storage solution was for the Cloud offering [2], we realized that the preserved webpages (archives) take up space pretty quickly and S3 was much more efficient for this task. On the front-end we used TailwindCSS for styling and Zustand for state management.

You could either use our Cloud offering (with 14-day free trial) to directly support this project and experience Linkwarden, or you could self-host it on your own machine and have maximum flexibility.

Feel free if you had any questions, we'll do our best to answer it.

I'll definitely give it a short this weekend. Are there any plans to support different authentication methods? Like LDAP, OAuth2 etc?

I'm using linkding at the moment https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding which also has a browser addon, the only missing thing is some form central user auth but we're using it as it is.

Currently the only authentication methods are using plain username/password as default.

And if the extra environment variables are set properly, you could hook it up using the email provider, taking care of the confirmation emails and one time links.

If its on nextjs I've a feeling there are auth providers kicking about to implement sso at least.

Absolutely, the authentication is being handled by next-auth so there are lots of providers that can be added in the future.

Looks really clean.

A few questions:

- It’s not clear if this saves highlight in Ng and annotations (notes about the highlights). More than saving a bookmark we think about a sentence that can be searchable.

- Is there any plan to save the entire webpage as text (to maintain the annotations in it) in addition to pdf and screenshot?

One product I am overly dependant on is Diigo - I would love a replacement even if it was self hosted.

Saving webpages as text was actually something we wanted to do before launch but just went for the “MVP” for now.

So yeah we’re definitely bringing more archive formats.
