LinkAce

Preventing silent link rot across research libraries, LinkAce captures, indexes, and permanently archives web discoveries into searchable multi-user collections with automated Wayback Machine snapshots. Curators bookmark articles, documentation, tools, and media using custom browser bookmarklets or quick-add input fields that automatically scrape page titles and metadata descriptions. The built-in link monitor continuously checks saved endpoints for HTTP status anomalies, alerting curators whenever destinations move, throw server errors, or vanish from the live internet. For long-term preservation, the system dispatches automated backup requests to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to capture historical copies of critical research material. Curators organize their library using nested lists and granular tag hierarchies, switching seamlessly between compact tables, detailed reading feeds, and visual card layouts. Teams and households can create separate user accounts to collaborate on shared collections, delegating read-only or editing privileges per list. The platform also generates individualized RSS feeds for public or private bookmark streams, synchronizes external data through a tokenized REST API, and dispatches automated database dumps to AWS S3 storage buckets. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.

Benefits

  • Automated Broken Link Health Monitoring
  • Continuously probes saved URLs using background worker queues to detect HTTP 404 errors, domain expirations, and permanent redirects, keeping collections accurate and preventing silent bookmark degradation.
  • Wayback Machine Snapshot Archival Integration
  • Dispatches automated archival requests to the Internet Archive for newly saved links, preserving permanent public snapshots of essential articles and research documentation before original websites change or disappear.
  • Collaborative Multi-User Organization Workspaces
  • Supports multiple user accounts with granular access delegation, allowing administrators to publish public collections, share private lists across internal teams, and generate authenticated RSS syndication feeds.
  • Extensible Headless REST API Connectivity
  • Exposes tokenized REST endpoints and webhooks that interface with third-party automation tools, custom browser extensions, mobile utilities, and automated database backups directed to AWS S3 object storage.
