A self-hostable social bookmarking and link aggregation tool built with Go, using plain text files for storage.
About yarn.social
Yarn.social is a lightweight social bookmarking platform you can run on your own server. It lets you save, share, and discuss links in a community-style feed, similar to sites like Reddit or Hacker News. The entire system is built with Go, so it compiles to a single binary and runs with minimal dependencies.
Storage is handled through plain text files and a simple directory structure, which means no database setup is required. It supports import and export of bookmarks in standard formats, and includes a built-in web interface for browsing and posting. Yarn.social can be deployed on any system that runs Go, including Linux, BSD, and macOS servers.
This tool is best suited for small communities, personal link archives, or anyone who wants a low-maintenance alternative to centralized bookmarking services. It is free and open source software released under a permissive license. The project was started by an independent developer and remains community-driven.
