Hello everybody, Daniel here! We’re excited to be back with some new updates that we believe the community will love! As always before we start, we’d like to express our sincere thanks to all of our Cloud [https://linkwarden.app/#pricing?utm_source=Lemmy&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=v2_7_announcement] 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. šŸš€ ## What’s New? — ### šŸ› ļø Code Refactoring and Optimization The first thing you’ll notice here is that Linkwarden is now faster and more efficient.[^1] And also the data now loads a skeleton placeholder while fetching the data instead of saying ā€œyou have no linksā€, making the app feel more responsive.

Has anyone compared its page archiving feature to ArchiveBox?
Archivebox gets my vote, only because despite how much I’d 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 I’ve 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 didn’t get any responses so I’m guessing that’s just not a priority…which is totally fine, it definitely seems to be great software if it fits your use case :)
Doesn’t Linkwarden play the role of the bookmarks manager? Doesn’t/can’t it save all that’s bookmarked in it?
Sure, maybe that’s the intended purpose/workflow. I feel like back when I tried it there was something about the general workflow that I didn’t like, but honestly it could have just been something as simple as me and an ā€œold habits die hardā€ 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?

Nope it is not…if I’m 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 it’s running and I don’t 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 I’ve come across. In other words, rarely locked behind login, and rarely critical. Half the time it’s helpful when sites go offline, but honestly half the time it just functions as if I ever Google search an issue I know I’ve seen before but can’t 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 past…that sort of thing. Nothing crazy and I’m sure there are better processes out there, but it’s just a basic and simple process that works for me.
