What is ThinkDashboard?
ThinkDashboard is a minimalist, self-hosted bookmark manager designed for quick keyboard-driven access to your links. You organize bookmarks into pages and categories, assign single-key shortcuts to open them instantly, and customize the look with built-in dark and light themes plus a full color editor. The UI is responsive and works on mobile browsers. Data is stored as simple JSON files in a mounted data directory, so there is no external database to manage. You can run it via Docker Compose, a single Docker command, or by building from source with Go. The project is MIT-licensed and actively maintained.
