  Karakeep warns that it is under heavy development and is “far from stable”. Which is not something you want to hear in archiving purposes.

  Linkwardens “single html” save doesn’t seem to actually save the page proper. And I wouldn’t want to rely on a pdf to view the page.

  Not to mention that the whole post is about simplicity and accessability(not limiting yourself to a small toolset or container formats). Those are all about AI-tagging, online archiving, PDF, APIs, plugins, extensions. etc.

    • Linkwarden archives to multiple formats out of the box, including PDF and full HTML.
    • Both Linkwarden and Karakeep use github.com/Y2Z/monolith in the backend. Monolith is battle hardened and wildly used and accepted.
    • ‘far from stable’ isn’t referring to the archiving, it’s referring to the frontend, tagging, etc. Features this blog post doesn’t even offer
    • a hastily cobbled together, manual (more mistakes allowed), untested system is more fragile than standardized software used by many thousands daily
