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!

Cool app at first glance!
I always wonder why some open source projects choose discord and not matrix?
Matrix is cool but its user base is not there yet.
Then stop driving people to discord alone, at least use both so there’s an option
So… split the user (and support) base while invariably emphasizing the shortcomings of Matrix?
You can link them together at least that’s how the discord and matrix chats are for our instance are. I can chat from discord and get replies from people in matrix
Ah, I was not aware of a way to bridge two channels/servers entirely. I know there are bots that people use to bridge their user accounts though.
If it is fully seamless? Sure. But I don’t know why you are bothering then. But if it adds a “Bot” tag or any other hoops, you are still just making a worse experience for everyone. We ran into this back in the IRC days all the time.
Of course it isn’t seamless, but I have seen good and bad implementations.
By that logic, why are you on lemmy?
And I’m on matrix too, but I’m just an individual. If I were trying to advertise my project I’d probably use discord / reddit as well tbh
Why not both?
Also, if all projects advertised only the largest platforms, how would small platforms grow?
I wonder why they don’t just set up a forum
Perhaps they could create a community on programming.dev
Matrix is a terrible experience, honestly. It’s incredibly slow and their “servers” don’t really function as a community as much as a series of chat groups. I’m not fond of opening my chat app and then staring at it for 10-15 seconds while it loads all the new messages. And yes, I’ve tried different servers.
Discord is feature-rich. And now has the option to submit posts, which drastically increases usability and searchability. But it does have a big problem with privacy and ads.
Projects like this are much better suited for something like Gitlab.
matrix.org works just fine. Nowadays, the experience is as good as on any other chat app
Element is the thing that’s subpar (to be generous) compared to other chat apps. Element X is better for the features that have been implemented, but the current feature set is very incomplete.
Mobile yes, desktop isn’t subpar ime
Even desktop is more resource heavy than it should be. But yes, mobile is much worse.
Beg to differ. Not all of us want to be Beta_testers
Even cooler page to sell you on the app. Very smooth gifs
Gifs are the USP
