Papra is a minimalistic document management and archiving platform. It is designed to be simple to use and accessible to everyone. Papra is a platform for long-term document storage and management, like a digital archive for your documents.

Forget about that receipt of that gift you bought for your friend last year, or that warranty for your new phone. With Papra, you can easily store, forget, and retrieve your documents whenever you need them.

A live demo of the platform is available at demo.papra.app (no backend, client-side local storage only).

Github Project: https://github.com/papra-hq/papra

For future reference: there are fields "URL" (the link) and "Thumbnail URL" (the picture). If you paste the image, the Thumbnail URL field disappears, and picture URL appears in URL field.

Cut it, and Thumbnail URL field appears again. Paste it into the Thumbnail URL field, and enter the link to whatever you want to be opened into the URL field again.

Voila - you have a link AND a custom picture. It's weird, it shouldn't work this way, but it works.

Lol, wonder if this also works from mobile as I primarily only browse Lemmy via Voyager.
