Hi 👋 If you have some bash skills, you can definitely use hoarder's CLI mentioned in https://docs.hoarder.app/import to do mass imports. If not, I can craft the commands up and put them there :)

Works great, but I wish I could add links directly to Archive/list. Manually archiving hundreds of bookmarks would be a pain.

@lucius346346 that should be an extremely easy fix :) I'll add support for that later today :)

@lucius346346 I've added support in the CLI to mass add items to lists (or to archive them). New docs are here: https://docs.hoarder.app/command-line

@alexkutsan - could you explain the areas where Hoarder-App outshines LinkWarden?

Thank you in advance.

@rkmfl mainly vibes :-)

I haven't tried Hoarder in practice yet because I was a bit lazy to use the CLI with bash to perform a Linkwarden-to-Hoarder export of my existing bookmarks. I only experimented with the demo and did some small-scale exploring using Docker Compose on my localhost.

I like how Hoarder looks and appreciate the automatic tagging feature (which Linkwarden seems to lack). The availability of Android and iOS apps is also a big benefit for me. With Linkwarden, I use an iOS shortcut to create bookmarks from my iPad, but I can't do this from Android at all (there is a PWA app available for Android, but the "share" dialog does not include PWA apps).

can someone provide a dummy export from linkwarden, so I can check it out?

@treyg commented on GitHub (Jul 7, 2024):

@alexkutsan @kamtschatka I wrote a couple simple scripts to make importing from linkwarden a little easier while I was going through the process, if that helps: https://github.com/treyg/linkwarden-to-hoarder

I'd be happy to contribute and add steps to the docs for LW import, but it would feel a little clunky to include multiple scripts in the import docs just for one specific app (linkwarden). Let me know if you have any thoughts what the best approach would be and I can open a PR. I could also add feature to allow hoarder to import directly from linkwarden, if you think it would be worthwhile, @MohamedBassem
