Archivebox gets my vote, only because despite how much Iâd love to switch to Linkwarden there seems to be no viable way to schedule importing of something like bookmarks. With Archivebox, I can relatively easily set it up such that every night any new bookmarks Iâve added automagically get archived. This is works perfectly for my use case. I put a LW GitHub issue/request in for something similar a long while back but didnât get any responses so Iâm guessing thatâs just not a priorityâŚwhich is totally fine, it definitely seems to be great software if it fits your use case :)

Doesnât Linkwarden play the role of the bookmarks manager? Doesnât/canât it save all thatâs bookmarked in it?

Sure, maybe thatâs the intended purpose/workflow. I feel like back when I tried it there was something about the general workflow that I didnât like, but honestly it could have just been something as simple as me and an âold habits die hardâ sort of thing, lol.

One more Q - is your ArchiveBox setup able to save pages that require login? E.g. paywalled news articles that you have subscriptions for, some other stuff behind auth?
d_ohlin@lemmy.world â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Nope it is notâŚif Iâm completely honest my archivebox instance feels like it could tip over and die if I go tweaking much stuff at any given time lol, but as long as itâs running and I donât touch it it seems to run well.
My workflow might be sort of stupid lol but 98% of what I bookmark is more just for professional documentation or tutorials or personal research or handy links or etc. that Iâve come across. In other words, rarely locked behind login, and rarely critical. Half the time itâs helpful when sites go offline, but honestly half the time it just functions as if I ever Google search an issue I know Iâve seen before but canât remember how to fix, then if I see a page I land on bookmarked already then I know it was a good help to me in the pastâŚthat sort of thing. Nothing crazy and Iâm sure there are better processes out there, but itâs just a basic and simple process that works for me.

Makes sense. I currently have ArchiveBox setup but it doesnât automatically save anything. I was thinking about getting it to save bookmarks. I guess Iâll setup Linkwarden to try out the workflow too.
