## What it is
Shaarli is a personal, minimalist, super-fast, database-free bookmarking service that you self-host on your own server. It is designed for single-user use to save, tag, and share links.

## Use cases
- self-host a personal bookmarking service
- save and organize links with tags
- share interesting links publicly
- replace proprietary bookmarking services with my own server
- keep a private link database without a database server

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, fast, self-hosted bookmark manager
- you prefer a database-free setup on a simple PHP server
- you want a personal single-user link sharing service
- you want Docker deployment options

## When to avoid
- you need multi-user bookmark sharing with permissions
- you need a managed cloud bookmarking service
- your stack is not PHP-based and you prefer another language
