Slash

Is Slash actively maintained?

Slash is under active development: 13 commits landed over the last 11 months, averaging roughly 1 commit a month in the most recent quarter.

The last tagged release, v0.5.3, is over 2 years old. If you deploy, expect to build from the default branch rather than a stable tag.

Slash ranks #13 of 19 tracked bookmarks and link sharing projects. Several better-maintained options exist in the same category — they are listed below.

What Slash actually does

Slash is an open-source tool designed to help you save, organise, and share bookmarks and links from your own infrastructure. It provides a centralised web interface for managing collections of URLs without relying on third-party bookmarking services. As a self-hosted platform under the GPL-3.0 licence, it gives you complete control over your stored link data.

Best fit: This is a good fit if you want a dedicated, self-hosted alternative to commercial bookmark managers and prefer keeping your link collections on your own hardware.

Worth knowing: The repository currently shows low maintenance activity, which may mean slower responses to security issues or bug fixes. It also competes in a well-established category with many mature alternatives.

Deployment notes

Since it is distributed for Docker, you will typically need to configure persistent volumes for data storage and place the container behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
