LinkAce is a self-hosted archive to collect links of your favorite websites.

Hi!  👋

I'm Kevin. Web Engineer and Open Source Creator from Berlin, Germany.

I am working as a DevOps Engineer for Universal Music Germany.

Since starting with web development in 2008, I created a lot of different projects, including an internet discovery site, a bookmark manager, a popular invoicing software, a web archive for video game quotes and many more.

Besides working on websites and web apps, I take photos from time to time. You can find most of my photos on Flickr.

linkace's Issues

Add system settings page

This page should be used to set system-wide settings, like generating an cron token and so on.
Also see #33 for access control.

API for third-party Access

• Links
• Lists
• Tags
• Notes
• Search links
• Search tags (for editing)
• Search lists (for editing)
• Check an URL against existing links
• Trash

Other endpoints to be discussed:

• Import?
• Export?

Add user roles

The app needs user roles to differ between admins who can control various system settings, and normal users who just add links and so on.

Implement a trash for deleted items

Bookmarklet: Redirect to form after login not working

When logging in inside the bookmarklet, Linkace should redirect to the link add form with the correct link after that. It's currently not working.

Add link sharing

Rememberable not working with file cache

Model caching via rememberable uses tagged caches which are not supported by file caching. Either add a switch to turn off model caching if file cache is enabled or force Redis usage.

Check if URL is already saved while typing

Check the entered URL against the existing ones to find out if you already saved it earlier.

Add link icons

Add icons next to links or on the details page that indicate the source of the link, e.g. all links from Medium.com will have the Medium logo icon next to it and so on. This may be helpful if titles are not clearly show the source of a link.

Add notifications for the link checking

If moved/broken links were found, notify the user about this via email.

Refs #20

Implement automatic backups

https://github.com/spatie/laravel-backup

Make lists available in guest view

Chrome login

Hello,
Not sure if it's only me but i setup LinkAce without docker and got everything running.
But I'm not able to login via Chrome, Chrome-android or Bromite.
After logging in the button change color and nothing happens..

It works without any problem on Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Import of existing Bookmarks

Add text links to icons the the mobile main menu

Upgrade to PHP 7.4

Check timezone usage

Check if the user timezone is used correctly by the application

Sorting for index tables

Make at least link index tables sortable and apply filters, like for tags and/or categories.

Move Waybackmachine notification into Queue

While adding a link, the app sends a request to the Waybackmachine to save the current link. This should be moved into a queue and done without blocking the user flow.

Upgrade to Laravel 6

Add setting for different display of links

Links may also be displayed as cards or different layouts, other than the current "simple list" which is overloaded anyway.

Implement User Settings

Issue with meta description being parsed incorrectly

The meta description was parsed incorrectly for the URL https://nicedoc.io/

Expected output:

pretty README as service

Actual output:

pretty README as service" class="next-head"/><meta name="image" content="https://nicedoc.io/static/banner.jpg" class="next-head"/><link rel="canonical" href="https://nicedoc.io" class="next-head"/><title class="next-head 

Issue with not opening bookmarklet

For some reason the bookmarklet does not open from time to time. When using the onsite form, the old bookmarklet success message pops up after submitting the link.

Lists cannot be deleted

Clicking the delete button in the list overview results in a 403.

Automated link checks

Automatic checks for links if they are offline or were moved, maybe with user notifications. Should be run as a cron every few days or two weeks or something like that. Maybe also do the checks in batches.

Replace categories for links with a more useful feature

One idea: create lists instead of categories which can be used to store bookmarks. This gives it an interesting twist as lists may not "categorize" bookmarks in a way a drawer would do, but allows the user to "link" different bookmarks together. Like creating a list for "Webdesign Layout Tools" which may contain the favorite color picker, a grid calculator and an online design tool like Figma. Lists could be more precise than categories.
Bookmarks could be added to various lists instead of just one category.

Search / filter broken links

Add a view that displays broken links, also add a filter to the search to search for broken links.

Write Documentation

Implement a Wordpress-like Setup

Import from other services or file formats

Currently browser-exported bookmarks can be imported but other services may also make sense.

• CSV
• Firefox Bookmarks export (JSON)

Import adds tags multiple times

After running the import I saw a single tag, like cms added multiple times. Seems the tags are added without checking if it already exists.

Optimize the automatic dark theme loading

Currently, the app shows some unstyled text for a very short moment between loading the HTML and properly styling the loading overlay. This needs to be fixed, the loader should overlay the whole page until the correct theme was loaded.

Implement dark theme

Should be selectable in the settings. There could also be an "auto" setting that detects macOS Dark Mode and changes automatically?

Implement System Settings

Browser Bookmarklet

Pagination styling in dark mode is broken

Trash needs to be updated for lists

Implement the Wayback Machine for links

When a new link is created, ping the Internet Archive so the link can be archived, e.g.:

https://web.archive.org/save/http://www.wikipedia.org/

If a link was moved or is dead, display a link to the corresponding Wayback Machine page should be displayed:

https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://en.wikipedia.org/

Add loading indicator for buttons

Indicate when buttons are pressed and the page is now loading

Add batch / bulk editing

Links should be batch-editable, like adding a category, a tag, delete them, set them private,...

• #379

Move to single-user approach

For now it should be enough to have a single user controlling the instance. Therefore roles can be removed.
Multi-user support may be a feature for v2 if users want it.

Move from Selectize to alternative

As the selectize development seems dead and there are currently UX issues present while adding tags, LinkAce has to move to an alternative.

Possible candidates:

• Select2
• Choices
• Chosen (popular, but last update from Jun 2018)

Exporting to .csv

Additionally to the standard HTML output, bookmarks should also be exportable to a .csv file.

Implement a public view

If the app is made public (system setting) then allow viewing of links by guest.

Implement notes for links

Add an artisan command for the setup

The command (smth. like php artisan linkace:setup) should take car of every needed steps to setup the app for production use.

Setup a Github pages site with information

Generate screenshots for links

Implement a method or web service to generate screenshots for links to display the content of a site as a small preview.

Update as of Apr. 2021:
A "light" version of this feature was implemented by @jeop10. LinkAce saves a thumbnail URL to the database if the websites provides a og:image or twitter:image. I will keep this issue open for a possible full implementation in the future.
Support for thumbnails were released in v1.6.0.

Export of all bookmarks

Add function to export all bookmarks to an HTML file or similar, maybe also CSV, PDF or simple .txt
