It's a very nice launcher that loads very fast. Makes a great New Tab replacement, if your browser is under Active Directory or MDM control that is (or some extension).
The only downside it has is that it makes what I think it's a version check to GitHub; it GETs a .env file with a name-value pair. It's pretty benign as this type of requests go, but y'know… You can easily block it injecting a CSP with HAProxy though.
I used the Docker feature for a little bit, until I didn't. It was so long...

I used the Docker feature for a little bit, until I didn't. It was so long ago I don't remember what it did but it was a bit of hassle as you had to edit your containers to conform to the spec and create files for each, I believe.
Editing bookmark on the web app itself is also a bit of a chore, and you can get lost very quickly. Fortunately, I stumbled on its database file which was rather straightforward to edit — for somebody who's never worked with a database before — with this app called SQLiteStudio. Changes take place immediately (on reload).
The webapp is single user (i.e; needs just a password), once logged in it unhides the set of bookmarks not set to be public. Heimdall has a nice look too, but it reveals sensitive information in the page's source code because it makes the calls from the browser, this one doesn't. Well, it doesn't have that functionality, but it does have the docker thing and if I remember correctly, it's done server-side. I'm not sure though.
Anybody can edit the look of the app, it's stored in browser, unfortunately that means it won't sync across systems. There's a JSON file called themes though.
It's an app worth the look, at least while you look for something else or learn to build your own. Don't forget to save your docker run command syntax somewhere, use network storage and get a serverless database editing app.
