I maintain an open-source project called Linkwarden and this exact discussion is one of the reasons why it exists, teams needed a way to preserve referenced URLs reliably without having to depend on external services.

It stores webpages in multiple formats (HTML snapshot, screenshot, PDF snapshot, and a fully dedicated reader view) so you’re not relying on a single fragile archive method.

There’s both a hosted cloud plan [1] which directly supports the project, and a fully self-hosted option [2], depending on how much control you need over storage and retention.

Linkwarden is awesome and with the singlefile extension it's pretty easy to store things you can see but the scraper gets blocked on.

One question, what's your stance on adding a way to mark articles as read or "archive" them like other apps that are branded a bit more as storing things to read later. You can technically do something similar with tags but it's a bit clunky of a UX.

Thanks! At the moment we’re focused on archiving rather than read-later workflows, but this is great feedback. I’ve already added it to the feature requests list.

FWIW, at least on iOS, it's possible to inject Javascript into the web site being currently displayed by Safari as a side effect of sharing a web link to an app via the share sheet.

Several "read it later" style apps use this successfully to get around paywalls (assuming you've paid yourself) and other robot blockers. Any plans for Linkwarden to do this (or does it already)?

Neat. How does the archive.org integration works?

Does it just POST the url to them for them to fetch? Or is there any integration/trust to store what you already fetched on the client directly on their archives?

Correct.

I literally just came across and installed your project on my server today. It's fantastic and with it I was able to cancel my readwise subscription. Great work!
