linkding

For people who found del.icio.us perfect and everything since bloated, linkding is the bookmark manager - a Django application whose entire design goal is saving and finding links with zero friction. Paste a URL and it fetches the title, description, favicon, and preview image automatically; organize with tags, search full-text across everything, mark bookmarks unread for read-it-later, attach Markdown notes, and bulk-edit whole selections at once. Its answer to link rot is archiving: bookmarked pages can be snapshotted automatically, either submitted to the Internet Archive or saved as local HTML files, and a documented SingleFile browser-extension integration uploads full self-contained page captures straight to your instance. Official Firefox and Chrome extensions (plus a bookmarklet) make saving a one-click habit, the UI installs as a Progressive Web App on mobile, and multi-user support with bookmark sharing - to users or logged-out guests - covers families and teams, with SSO via OIDC when needed. The REST API (create, search, filter by tag) has spawned a genuine ecosystem of community mobile apps and libraries. Operationally it is famously boring in the best way: one small container, SQLite by default, automated migrations, and a zero-breaking-changes policy. Import and export use standard Netscape HTML.
