Shaarli
Lightweight personal bookmark server with tags, private links, feeds and public link-blog publishing.
Meet Shaarli
Shaarli is a small personal link manager that can also act as a public link blog. Saved URLs can carry titles, descriptions and tags, and private entries can remain separate from material shared publicly.
The software emphasizes a lightweight self-hosted setup rather than a large collaborative workspace. Feeds, a bookmarklet and an API make it useful for people who want their bookmarks to participate in a broader personal website or publishing workflow.
