## Description

ties (formerly linkblocks) is a federated bookmark manager written in Rust that lets you organize, share, and discover web pages. You can bookmark pages, organize them into nested lists, search through archived content, and follow other users' collections via ActivityPub federation. It supports posting bookmarks to Mastodon, webfinger lookups, and invite-only registration. The software runs as a single executable with PostgreSQL as its only dependency, and can be deployed via Docker, Docker Compose, or by building from source. It includes OIDC single sign-on support, integrated TLS, and a command-line interface for maintenance. The project is in alpha stage with only single-user instances currently supported.
