Nope it is not…if I’m completely honest my archivebox instance feels like it could tip over and die if I go tweaking much stuff at any given time lol, but as long as it’s running and I don’t touch it it seems to run well.
My workflow might be sort of stupid lol but 98% of what I bookmark is more just for professional documentation or tutorials or personal research or handy links or etc. that I’ve come across. In other words, rarely locked behind login, and rarely critical. Half the time it’s helpful when sites go offline, but honestly half the time it just functions as if I ever Google search an issue I know I’ve seen before but can’t remember how to fix, then if I see a page I land on bookmarked already then I know it was a good help to me in the past…that sort of thing. Nothing crazy and I’m sure there are better processes out there, but it’s just a basic and simple process that works for me.
So I went back and played around with LW to see what all has changed since I last looked at it, and I finally remembered what the fatal “flaw” was for me previously workflow-wise. The reason I’ve come to always rely so heavily on my bookmarking links approach is because it’s just a couple dead simple clicks, and more importantly it works identically everywhere - desktop, mobile, etc. doesn’t matter. The workflow is 100% identical everywhere with no additional apps or anything extra required. Having to open a PWA (or even a separate app if it were native) when I’m on my phone just to save a link is a few more clicks and I didn’t want to have to change up my workflow based on what device I happened to be on at the time I found something.
However, since I last trialed LW I have made a real hard personal push to switch over to Firefox as my dedicated browser, and while there’s a few things I don’t like as much the ability to run extensions even on mobile is positively amazing. The LW one appears to not be compatible officially, but with a little persuasion appears to work just fine…and if that continues working then I could totally see myself switching over to this! Still poking and prodding and trialing it out, but fingers crossed!
