Cool app at first glance!
I always wonder why some open source projects choose discord and not matrix?

Matrix is cool but its user base is not there yet.
Then stop driving people to discord alone, at least use both so thereβs an option
So... split the user (and support) base while invariably emphasizing the shortcomings of Matrix?
You can link them together at least that's how the discord and matrix chats are for our instance are. I can chat from discord and get replies from people in matrix
Ah, I was not aware of a way to bridge two channels/servers entirely. I know there are bots that people use to bridge their user accounts though.
If it is fully seamless? Sure. But I don't know why you are bothering then. But if it adds a "Bot" tag or any other hoops, you are still just making a worse experience for everyone. We ran into this back in the IRC days all the time.

You can create a webhook in Discord and in Matrix that will share messages in channels back and forth
I wonder why they don't just set up a forum
Perhaps they could create a community on programming.dev
I think Matrix suffers from some issues with large communities, for instance Graphene OS has already had to abandon 2-3 of their main group chats due to same bug and last time I checked (2-3 months ago) there has even been talks of switching to Discord. That is, just in case, a community of some of the most diehard privacy nerds btw

Is there the potential for SingleFile html archives rather than pdf & screenshots? Iβd imagine itβd be a fair bit smaller file.
Or other standard archiving formats like WARC.
There also is https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox which looks a bit similar.
Thank you for including oAuth options for sign on. Makes a big difference being able to use the same account for all the things like freshRSS, seafile, immich etc.
I'm intrigued. How does it work? Do you have a link or an article to point me to?
The general principle is called single sign on (sso).
The idea is that instead of each all keeping track of users itself, there is another app (sometimes called an identity provider) that does this. Then when you try to log into an app, it takes to the to login of your identity provider instead. When the IP says you are the correct user, it sends a token to the app saying to let you access your account.
The huge benefits are if you are already logged into the IP on a browser for example, the other apps will login automatically without having to put in your password again.
Also for me the biggest benefit is not having to manage passwords for a large number of apps so family that uses my server have 1 account which gives them access to jellyfin, seafile, immich, freshrss etc. If they change that password it changes it for everything. You can enforce minimum password requirements. You can also add 2FA to any app now immediately.
I use Authentik as my identity provider: https://goauthentik.io/https://goauthentik.io/
There's good guides to settings it up with traefik so that you get let encrypt certificates and can use traefik for proxy authentication on web based apps like sonarr. There are many different authentication methods an app can choose to use and Authentik essentially supports everything.
SSO should really be the standard for self hosted apps because this way they don't have to worry about ensuring they have the latest security for user management etc. The app just allows a dedicated identity provider to worry about user management security so the app devs can focus on just the app.
Authentik is pretty good. Authelia is good too, and lighter weight.
You can combine Authelia with LLDAP to get a web UI for user management and LDAP for apps that don't support OpenID Connect (like Home Assistant).

Using it since 2 months now and I really like it. Was totally worth a donationπ
Thanks!
Iβve been using ArchiveBox, this looks a bit more feature-full than ArchiveBox although it seems like ArchiveBox has been pretty stable. Anyone have experience with both, can vouch for the pros and cons?
I may take some time to compare the two. After taking another look at Linkwarden I get the impression it may handle archiving pages differently than ArchiveBox, which isnβt a bad thing it may just not fit the usage of everyone who uses ArchiveBox. The presentation and UI look really good, which is something I find ArchiveBox suffers a bit from.
I actually tried to build Raindrop.io-clone like this one one day, but never got the time to work fully on it... Congrats OP!

Pretty sure the IP detected was a user talking about βidentity provider(s)β and not Internet Protocol.
Archivebox is in my obsidian workflow, it grabs every link in my vault and archives it. I didn't see an API in linkwarden, perhaps I missed it.

What value can this bring me over features available using a Mozilla (Firefox) account and the Official Wayback Machine Browser Extension?
Collaboration, making your collections public, better organization, self-hostedness (idk if that's a word), better UI and so on...
FYI, if you have a synology NAS and want to self-host using the docker install, these instructions work: https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-linkwarden-on-your-synology-nas/
How does making collections public work if you're self hosting?
It seems so much nicer than my nextcloud bookmarks!
Amazing! Have wanted something like this for years, currently use raindrop but not fully, very hesitant of locking myself in. This looks very promising.

This looks like a good replacement for Raindrop.io
I wish it was database agnostic. And I'm slightly concerned about the version three rewrite.
It does look awesome, and I'll revisit it to see where things are in six months.
I can imagine that news orgs won't like having publicly available backups of their subscriber only content. Is this a problem that has been considered?
Also, somewhat related, are the plans to turn this a little bit into a P2P archive.org? I mean, if multiple people store snapshots of webpages at different times, the timeline could be rebuilt using their publicly available snapshots.
are the plans to turn this a little bit into a P2P archive.org?
Now that would be cool!
Yeah. I expect basically any publicly available instances to get C&Ds REAL fast.
And a p2p archive.org will basically never work. For the same reasons that the various NSFW lemmy instances get defederated from almost instantly. Because there is room for discussion on sites that highlight nudity in movies. There isn't much room to discuss when it is nothing but revenge porn, "fappening links", ripped OF content, and (inevitably) child porn.
Stuff like this... I am sure there are niches but I am not seeing a lot of benefit over either a folder or a notes app that lets me upload PDFs (or even just google drive). But once you try to build a "community" you are going to have the same moderation issues amplified a hundred fold.
I'm not sure I understand your thoughts on p2p archive.org . What does it have to do with NSFW lemmy? I don't follow.

Thats neat. I was searching for something like this. Goes on my list.
looks very nice, thanks. would appreciate better documenting of SMTP options (login & password) and support for Authelia.
