I'm still on the hunt for a good self-hosted link manager. #Goodlinks is okay, but only on IOS and mac, not windows. #linkwarden uses hover for, like, everything, making it almost completely inaccessible. #Hoarder has basically no labeled buttons or links. I want something that's #accessible, cross-platform, #selfhosted, 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 #archivebox? But that looks like it's more about storing the data than actually doing anything useful with it like search or tagging or whatever. #a11y

check out Shiori, if you haven't already.

@c2c2_ Thanks! I looked into it, but it looked like it doesn't offer full-text search. That's something I want, if my link manager is going to serve the purpose of replacing Google for the things I already know about.

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

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.

For anyone following this, it looks like my answer is #readeck. The interface is #accessible, it does full text search, it archives pages, it has a browser extension, it works with #miniflux, it does the same kind of read/unread tracking that I wanted from #goodlinks, 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 #screenreader accessible. The only thing I'm lacking is an #IOS 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 #blind 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. #a11y

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:

(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.
