I'm still on the hunt for a good self-hosted link manager. is okay, but only on IOS and mac, not windows. uses hover for, like, everything, making it almost completely inaccessible. has basically no labeled buttons or links. I want something that's , cross-platform, , will archive pages, and offers full-text search. Three quarters of the time when I use Google, I'm just searching for something I already know about. In an ideal world, a selfhosted link/bookmark manager would reduce my dependence on big-tech search engines. Maybe ? But that looks like it's more about storing the data than actually doing anything useful with it like search or tagging or whatever.

@blindndangerous @coffee_nebula No full text search sadly. Otherwise it’d be perfect.

@blindndangerous @coffee_nebula I do. The idea is to replace Google when searching for something I know I saw before.

@fastfinge @coffee_nebula If I read the readme right, searchding will do that.

@blindndangerous @coffee_nebula Command line only though. Not sure I’d be able to live with that. The other one looks interesting though.

For anyone following this, it looks like my answer is . The interface is , it does full text search, it archives pages, it has a browser extension, it works with , it does the same kind of read/unread tracking that I wanted from , and it plays well with the rest of my things. Thanks so much to @readeck for making sure to build an interface that is fully accessible. The only thing I'm lacking is an app. And the ability to share some labels publicly would also be neat. But otherwise, Readeck is perfect for my use-case. If you're a person who wants a demo account to test it out and see if it works for you without going through all the bother of installation and set-up, send me a direct message.

@fastfinge this is fantastic news, really. Thank you so much for this feedback ❤️

When it comes to a11y, I'm doing my best to at least avoid mistakes but I do know that there's still room for improvement.
Should you find any (accessibility or not) issue, do not hesitate:
codeberg.org/readeck/readeck/issues

(there's an a11y label)

@readeck You're doing an excellent job! I'm currently going through my bookmarks because the goodlinks import didn't preserve the read/unread status. And I haven't found anything that's an issue yet.

@fastfinge I personally love Shaarli, but I can’t vouch for its accessibility. Tabbing through links works well at a quick glance.

@netzhexe I really like this interface! Sadly, it's just a bit too minimalist for me. No archiving of page contents, and no full text search. Those are both things I want to make my dream of replacing Google to find things I already know about a reality.
