Hello everybody, Daniel here!

I'm back with some huge updates for Linkwarden.

Before we start, we'd like to express our sincere thanks to all of our Cloud subscription users. Your support is crucial to our growth and allows us to continue improving. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey. πŸš€

What's New?


πŸ“„ Full Page Copy

This new feature allows users to save a complete copy of a webpage in a HTML format. It's perfect for archiving pages in their entirety, capturing all content as it appears at a specific point in time.

πŸ‘₯ User Administration

Server administrators can now manage user addition and deletion with greater ease. This feature is especially useful for organizations that need to manage multiple users.

🧱 New Masonry View

View your bookmarks in a visually appealing masonry layout, where content is arranged in an optimal position based on available vertical space. This feature is perfect for users who prefer a more visual approach to browsing their bookmarks.

🍏 iOS and MacOS Apps (Maintained by JGeek00)

We're excited to announce the release of the new iOS and MacOS apps, developed and maintained by JGeek00. These apps provide a seamless experience for users who prefer to access Linkwarden on their Apple devices. You can download the apps directly from the App Store.

πŸ“₯ Import from Wallabag

There was a high demand for this feature, and we're excited to announce that you can now import your bookmarks from Wallabag. This feature simplifies the transition process, allowing users to maintain their bookmarks without hassle.

🌐 Support for Other Languages (i18n)

Linkwarden has recently expanded to support Italian in addition to English. As this feature is quite new, there might be some bugs, and we're actively working to refine it. We're also looking for community help with translations to make Linkwarden accessible in more languages soon!

πŸ“ Image and PDF Uploads

Users can now upload images and PDF files directly to Linkwarden. This feature is perfect for users who want to store paywalled or password-protected content.

πŸ”’ Enhanced Security

This update includes several security enhancements to protect your data and ensure a secure browsing experience. We've also fixed several bugs and improved overall performance.

πŸ”‘ Support for Google OAuth

You can now use Google OAuth to sign in to Linkwarden. This feature simplifies the login process and provides a secure authentication method. Just note that we're still pending Google's approval for the OAuth consent screen and it will be available soon.

I really want to like one of these. I've tried it before but can anyone using this or similar tell me how it differs and improves upon just using Firefox sync?

[–] daniel31x13@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In simple terms, link rot is when the contents of a link you saved from the past is longer available.

Firefox sync does save the link url itself, but the actual content is susceptible to being taken down for any reason.

A tool like Linkwarden both saves the link url as well as the content itself, so you'll have a copy even if the original content is lost. All while taking collaboration into account.

This is a great point. Thanks for taking the time and great app.

My use case may be a bit niche.. but I use multiple Firefox profiles for different things and relying on only Firefox sync didn't workout for me. Hosting linkwarden for just myself was the perfect solution for me
