Hello everybody, Daniel here!
I'm back with some huge updates for Linkwarden.
Before we start, we'd like to express our sincere thanks to all of our Cloud subscription users. Your support is crucial to our growth and allows us to continue improving. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey. π
What's new?
π Added support for Sub-Collections
Our most requested feature, you can now create sub-collections to better organize your links! You can create sub-collections by dragging and dropping collections on top of each other or by clicking the "Create Sub-Collection" button in the collection menu.
Note: This feature has just been released, expect some minor bugs. We're still working on improving it.
β Bulk Actions
Make bulk changes to your links with ease. You can now delete, move, or tag multiple links at once. To use this feature, simply click the pencil icon right beside the sort button and select the links you want to modify.
π² Installable Progressive Web App (PWA)
Step up to a smoother, app-like interface with Linkwarden now as an installable PWA for mobile and desktop devices. You can install the PWA by following the instructions in the Docs.
π iOS Shortcut
You can now easily save links to Linkwarden right from the share sheet on iOS. Just tap the share button, select "Save to Linkwarden", and you're done! You can get the shortcut by following the instructions in the Docs.
π API Keys
Unlock new integration possibilities by creating a new API key in the settings, facilitating automated workflows and enhanced efficiency.
π Customizable Link Actions
You can now choose what happens when you click a link. Choose to open the original link, the preserved PDF, the preserved screenshot, or the preserved readable format.
π« Duplicate Link Prevention
Prevent adding the same links. This feature can be enabled in the settings.
π Pin links as a member
You can now pin links to your dashboard even if you're a member of a team and you don't own the collection.
π οΈ Refactored importing functionality
We've refactored the importing functionality to make it more reliable and efficient. It now also supports sub-collections!
If you like what we're doing, you can support the project by either starring βοΈ the repo to make it more visible to others or by subscribing to the Cloud plan (which helps the project, a lot).
Feedback is always welcome, so feel free to share your thoughts!

Been using the self-hosted version for a few months(?) and like it.
My biggest concern when committing to something like this is data portability.
I do appreciate that it saves copies of PDF and PNG files in structured folders on my NAS, but I wish the file names matched what they have captured rather than 1.pdf, 2.pdf, etc.
It would instantly make Linkwarden 100% more useful to me.
This is really really important!
Are the folders named to websites? Or maybe there associations are recorded in a way that you could script batch rename? Not a great solution but possible maybe.
Nope, everything is 1, 2, 3, etc. There's no hint of what they contain.
If filenames took a simple version of the "name" set for each link, it would work be perfect.
Obviously, it could be even more useful to someone using tags if that were included in the filename, too. But just knowing what the PDF has in it would make the files useful outside linkwarden (i.e. in a document manager or system search).
That seems like a bizarrely intentional obtuse choice
This makes me think of how Anytype stores files, itβs impossible to get your files from Anytype without exporting them through a tool in the software. If you delete Anytype, you have to reinstall it to get your files back the way you made them.
