Announcing Linkwarden 2.11

Today, we're excited to announce the release of Linkwarden 2.11! 🥳 This update brings significant improvements and new features to enhance your experience.

For those who are new to Linkwarden, it’s basically a tool for saving and organizing webpages, articles, and documents all in one place. It’s great for bookmarking stuff to read later, and you can also share your resources, create public collections, and collaborate with your team. Linkwarden is available as a Cloud subscription or you can self-host it on your own server.

This release brings a range of updates to make your bookmarking and archiving experience even smoother. Let’s take a look:

What’s new:

✨ Customizable Readable View

You can now configure the font style, font size, line height, and line width for the readable view. This allows you to create a more personalized reading experience that suits your preferences.

This feature essentially gives Linkwarden what other read-it-later apps like Pocket offered.

Customizable Readable GIF

📝 Add Notes to Highlights

You can now add notes to your highlights in the readable view and view them in the highlights sidebar. This is a great way to jot down your thoughts or insights while reading, making it easier to remember key points later.

⚙️ Customizable Dashboard

The dashboard has received a major overhaul! You can now customize it to show the information that matters most to you. Choose from various widgets like recent links, pinned links, or your saved collections. This makes it easier to access the content you care about right from the dashboard.

📥 Import from Pocket

Good news for Pocket users! You can now import your saved links from Pocket into Linkwarden. This makes it easy to transition to Linkwarden without losing your existing bookmarks.

🌐 Crowdin translation

We’ve integrated Crowdin for translations, making it easier to contribute translations for Linkwarden. If you’re interested in helping out with translations, check out our Crowdin page.

🎨 Improved UI

Thanks to Shadcn UI, the user interface has been improved with a more modern and polished look. This update enhances the overall user interface, making it easier to use Linkwarden.

✅ And more...

There are also a bunch of smaller improvements and fixes in this release to keep everything running smoothly.

How's it compare to Hoarder/Karakeep?

[-] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Worse. KaraKeep was partially inspired by Linkwarden.

[-] irmadlad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

imho, Karakeep is more for data preservation. Readeck is for articles you want to read later. Linkwarden is for important bookmarks like online accounts, billing accounts, etc. However, there is nothing that keeps you from using either as a bookmark app.

[-] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Why would you say Karakeep is more for data preservation than Linkwarden? Doesn't Linkwarden has all the features that Karakeep has, and more?

[-] irmadlad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I say that because that's how I use the three:

Readeck: Read it later Karakeep: Data preservation Linkwarden: Important links like business accounts, online accounts, etc.

[-] daniel31x13@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Hmm, I'd consider Linkwarden as a mix of Pocket and ArchiveBox, with collaboration functionality.

[-] cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago

I used linkwarden. But I don't use their save article functionality. All I do is to use it as a bookmark manager. In that sense its a little bloated for me. Would like to try some other, please recommended.

[-] Jason2357@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

I use good old wallabag for read it later because of how well it works in fbreader on my Kobo. Linkwarden for the bookmarks. It’s not really bloated if you think about how the archiving preserves copies of bookmarks in case the site goes down, and more crucially, allows for full text search.

[-] odious@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

is it possible to use sqlite as db engine? I'd like to avoid running yet another postgres container.

[-] southernbeaver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Is it bad to have one central postgres for all your containers?

[-] odious@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

probably not.

it's more work than using sqlite inside of the application's container though.

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

How easy is setting up an sqlite container as opposed to just connecting to an existing postgres container network? Genuine question since I've never tried using sqlite before.

[-] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Have they fixed the titles of saved links being clipped for no reason?

I found Linkwarden entirely unusable because of this and switched to KaraKeep the moment I realized they’d mastered the ancient magic of “Make sure the link titles are actually fully visible”

EDIT: It would appear not since I can see they’re clipped in the thumbnail lol. All that wasted space sitting there doing nothing when it could be… containing the title of the link.

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Is there a way to regenerate AI tags for bookmarks that failed to do so? I couldn't find that option in the settings.

[-] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

This reminds me of stumbleupon from way back when. Neat idea

[-] scott@lemmy.org 1 points 1 week ago

There are so many of these I want to use one but I can't choose

[-] irmadlad@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Linkwarden is very polished, has some neat features for bookmarks. Readeck is nice for quick read-it-later data. I use it a lot when I see an article I want to read, I'll save it, and read it in the evening laying in bed with a bowl. Karakeep is for data preservation. Those are my top three.

[-] scott@lemmy.org 1 points 1 week ago

Linkwarden says it's for data preservation, too. What's the difference between it and karakeep then?

[-] med@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

All I need is for them to fix the public collection RSS feed bug where they embed "https,http" in the feed xml if you're behind a reverse proxy - which breaks parsing

[-] gdog05@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Some nice improvements to an already great piece of kit. Good job y'all. Looking forward to updating.

[-] daniel31x13@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Glad you like it!

[-] prettygorgeous@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

No native Android app yet?

[-] softwarist@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

There are a couple of unofficial Android clients on F-Droid:

[-] daniel31x13@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Mobile app is in development :)
