It was a surprise when I installed Linkwarden last night, imported over 4000 bookmarks collected over >20 years and then discovered this morning that there were (and growing) 12 GB of data on my Truenas. This explains why my VM crashed last night and ran out of space. It looks like the default setting creats and image, a PDF and an HTML version of every single page 12GB/4000=3MB each sounds about right, although we'll see when/where this stops. So this was the first thing that put me off. Here are a few others:

a) unless I've missed it, there is nothing to capture duplicate links

b) nothing to capture/report dead links.

c) the two droid apps (LinkDroid, LinkGuardian) either don't connect to my server (the latter) or simply seem too simple to be of good use on the phone. LinkDroid is proposing all the "collections"/folders in a drop down menu and I have many folders in the 4000 bookmarks so it difficult to scroll on a screen when saving a link.

d) The linkwarden firefox extension only allows you to capture links rather than integrate with the browser and substitute the browsers link management process.

Ultimately, it looks more like Wallabag, that i've been using for some time now. Whereas, I was expecting more a tool to actually manage the huge link repository I have.

That's exactly why I stopped using it.
WTF does it crawls my bookmarks?

A lot of my links are for internal apps, it won't even be able to make screenshots in the first place.

And what if some of those urls trigger some action? This autocrawling is just irresponsible nor do I care to see those images at all.
