hoarder-app/hoarder v0.13.0

0.13.0

on GitHub

Welcome to the 0.13.0 release of Hoarder! This release is packed with a lot of new features to better organize your bookmarks. This includes: Nested lists, tag merging, a new suggested cleanups page, and more! Crawler also now takes screenshots and downloads the banner images locally. The CLI is now more powerful giving you ability to do mass modifications (e.g. archiving/adding to lists) until the mutli-select feature is developed.

Note: You probably want to read the Upgrading section for that release. No breaking changes, but some nice recommendations are mentioned.

Announcements

• The android app has been finally released on the play store (link)! Thanks a lot to all the beta testers during that time! Go check it out (and maybe give it a review while you're there 😉). The iOS app is still stuck in apple's review queue unfortunately, so you still need to use the beta version for now.
• The new chrome/firefox extensions allow you to quickly add tags and lists to your newly saved bookmarks!

New Features

• Nested lists are here! When you're creating a new list, you can choose a parent for that list and it'll be nested under it. The All lists page has been revamped to support showing the list tree.
• Merging tags is now a thing.
• A new Cleanups page that will suggest to you ways to cleanup your collection. As a start, it now detects potentially duplicate tags and suggests merging them. Currently, the algorithm is very simple and will detect duplicates if they have different cases (e.g. Chess and chess), and also tags that differ by at most one character (e.g. web-devopment and Web development). The inference job now is also fixed to avoid creating those duplicates in the first place.
  • In the future, tag duplication detection will be able to suggest merging semantically equivalent tags.
• The crawler now by default downloads the banner images. This is to protect against bookmarked links going away, but also to get around rate limits when you have multiple bookmarks from the same website (e.g. github). This will result into a larger storage space utilization. If you don't care about that, you can disable by setting CRAWLER_DOWNLOAD_BANNER_IMAGE=false.
• The crawler also will now take screenshots of the website it crawls and allows you to see them in the preview page. The screenshots will also be used as a fallback banner for links that don't have an image. Again, this will use some extra storage, so if you don't want screenshots, you can disable them with CRAWLER_STORE_SCREENSHOT=false.
• You can now edit lists to change its name or update its parent.
• You can now see (and manage) all the bookmarks a list is in from the new Manage Bookmarks drop down option.
• You can now delete tags from the All tags page. The All tags page will also show you the "unused" tags and gives you a quick way to mass delete them.
• The CLI got a lot of new commands. You can now update bookmarks from the CLI (e.g. to archive or favourite them), and you can add or remove bookmarks from lists. You can have a look on the updates docs page here. Also, you can now get the CLI directly from NPM using npm install -g @hoarderapp/cli. The CLI is very useful for now to do mass actions on your bookmark while we develop the multi-select feature #84.

Fixes

• When you preview a bookmark (using the maximize button), the address bar of the browser will now show a unique link for that bookmark.
• The crawler now can correctly find the images in amazon links.
• The search indexing worker was in some rare cases incorrectly reporting success while it actually failed. This is now fixed.

Upgrading

• If you're using HOARDER_VERSION=release, run docker compose pull && docker compose up -d.
• If you're pinning it to a specific version, upgrade the version and then run docker compose pull && docker compose up -d.

After Ugprading:

• Now that we're taking screenshots for pages, you'll want to tell chrome to hide scrollbars by adding --hide-scrollbars to the command section under the chrome container. Check the update docker compose (here) for reference on how to do it.
• Apparently, meillisearch collects analytics by default unless you opt out. Add MEILI_NO_ANALYTICS=true in the environment section of the meillisearch container if you don't want that. Check the update docker compose (here) for reference on how to do it. Thanks for the report and fix @vivekmiyani!
• The release introduced the ability to download banner images and take screenshots from webpages. Those will be applied only on newly crawled pages. if you want to do the same for your old bookmarks, you can re-crawl all the links from the admin panel by pressing on the Recrawl All Links (Without Inference). Make sure you click the (Without inference) button otherwise you'll be re-running automatic tagging which can be expensive.
