What is karakeep-homedash?
KaraKeep HomeDash is a lightweight, read-only dashboard for KaraKeep bookmarks. It presents all bookmarks on one page organized by lists using a Pinterest-style masonry layout. Features include instant search filtering, drag-and-drop list reordering, and responsive design for desktop, tablet, and mobile. The app runs a Python server that serves static files and handles configuration persistence, while SQLite WASM executes in the browser for fast client-side querying. Deployment options include a pre-built Docker image from ghcr.io or a manual Python installation. It requires read-only access to the KaraKeep SQLite database (db.db) and stores user preferences in a local config directory. The project is licensed under GPL-3.0 and complements the main KaraKeep application.
