I love how active the development on Linkwarden is. I still have all of my stuff in wallabag, but Linkwarden is tempting. I gave the hosted trial a try a few weeks ago, but my wallabag export was too big to import. Maybe I'll try selfhosting it and manually increasing the max upload size this time.
Thanks! We might bump the import limit sometime soon, how large is the file you're trying to import?
My JSON export from wallabag is 46 megabytes. That's for 2,465 articles.
If I log into a paywalled site, can i read paywalled things later?
Yes. It archives a copy of the page locally that you have access to forever.
That's cool. Instapaper can't do that. Thx.
Is it possible to transfer those files to kobo reader (convert to epub).
Not that I know of. I still use wallabag just for my âread it later on koboâ button.
Yes, but you'll need to either upload the webpage using SingleFile or use our official Browser Extension.
Iâve been looking for a way to self host a bookmark manager so I can sync bookmarks (favorites / links) across all devices. Sounds like Linkwarden might be overkill for me, but can it do that if Iâm ok with overkill?
You can disable preservation and sync Linkwarden with your browser bookmarks using Floccus and it can serve you as a regular bookmark manager.
Yep, that's exactly what this is for. You use Linkwarden to bookmark things, though -- it's not for your browser bookmarks. But there's a browser extension, so you're still just clicking one button to bookmark things. And you can export your browser bookmarks and then import them in Linkwarden.
I can see from the screenshot they still havenât fixed the title text being cut off in each bookmark.
Hey there! The screenshot was cropped, not sure which part you're talking about
Each bookmark card does not make enough room for the title of each bookmark, so theyâre cut off with an ellipses at the end. The readability while looking over your bookmarks is pretty bad as a result. Like after a certain point thatâs unavoidable, but it doesnât help that the spacing and margins in each card are excessive.
KaraKeep uses a similar card layout and handles it much better as a counter example.
Can anyone help explain the use case for this? Why would someone want/need a dedicated app for bookmarks vs just using the built in browser bookmarking?
I've always used Firefox but have never thought to myself that I needed bookmarks in a different app entirely. What am I missing?
It's a replacement for Read It Later/Pocket/Instapaper.
Saves websites offline, with full copies/reading view/pdf.
That tool also saves a copy of the website. But I also do not use the browser bookmarks and a tool, that only syncs bookmarks. And that is the reason: syncing, so I have all the bookmarks on all devices.
I didn't either, but I started using floccus and syncing my bookmarks across my 2 computers and phone. In a pinch it works great for those obscure websites I don't frequently visit.
This looks great! Yet another container for our poor home server.
