What does HackerNews think of linkding?

Self-hosted bookmark service

Language: Python

Why would you trust Google or Mozilla with any of your data? They're both horrifically untrustworthy. Self-host your bookmarks:

Linkding has plugins for Librewolf (privacy aware Firefox) and all the Chrome-garpage (Brave, Vivaldi, etc.) that can handle tagging as well as inject your own bookmarks into your search results.

I'll definitely give it a short this weekend. Are there any plans to support different authentication methods? Like LDAP, OAuth2 etc?

I'm using linkding at the moment https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding which also has a browser addon, the only missing thing is some form central user auth but we're using it as it is.

I'm personally a big fan of Linkding [1]. You have to self host it, which means all the data stays local. I like the minimalist approach to the UI and there is a browser extension and (community created) mobile app [2]. Its also built on Django, which makes it pretty easy to manage/extend/modify.

I recently imported my bookmarks into a linkding instance, and use the firefox extension to add new ones to it.

It's slightly better than the browser bookmark manager.

I've been on a quest to tame the bookmark monster. I have bookmarks (collectively over 10k probably) all spread around in different devices, different browsers on different computers, and event in text messages I sent to myself, via whatsapp/sms, over a period spanning 6-7 years.

While I'm not close done curating (the dead/expired/out-of-date links)... I needed to collect it all in one central place, and [linkding](https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding) is fitting the bill quite nicely. I'm using the tags and description field to annonate and sort the mess of bookmarks. It has a simple to use rest API, uses SQLite, and you can import/export bookmarks using the Netscape bookmarks html format. Best of all, it's OSS you can self-host on a RaspberryPi or even for free on say fly.io.

I've been a pinboard user for ~6 years and I won't be renewing my subscription.

After a few years of using it I signed up for an archival account (which costs extra $39 per year). My credit card was charged, but I wasn't able to archive any page; the option to do so was never there. I emailed support (I guess it goes directly to Maciej) and NEVER got an answer, despite being a paid customer and following up several times. I ended up having to do a charge-back on my credit card. Very unprofessional.

On the flip side, that made me look into self hosting and now I happily run a linkding [1] instance on my NAS. I never really cared about the social aspect of it.

I selfhost linkding (https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding) and I'm very happy with it because it got browsers plugins (firefox & chrome) so adding something to it is extremely quick (literally a couple of clicks)
