Linkwarden maintainer here, thanks for the shoutout and stay tuned for exciting updates as we have lots of new features lined up for the next release :)
Is it possible to use archive.org or something similar in place or in addition to the builtin archiving?
That’s actually one of the features, you can enable it from the settings to send the link to archive.org for a snapshot.
Collaboration, making your collections public, better organization, self-hostedness (idk if that’s a word), better UI and so on…
In simple terms, link rot is when the contents of a link you saved from the past is longer available.
Firefox sync does save the link url itself, but the actual content is susceptible to being taken down for any reason.
A tool like Linkwarden both saves the link url as well as the content itself, so you’ll have a copy even if the original content is lost. All while taking collaboration into account.
