What HN said

What people liked

  • Clean look and useful offline archiving feature

    From 2 comments
    • I just love the clean look of this. Looks like a labour of love for a personal tool. Nice feature, downloading the full HTML.

  • Self hosted and simple, a welcome alternative to Pocket-style services

    From 2 comments
    • I use Instapaper for not just "read later" feature but as bookmarking too to later refer it. It has single level folders for organizing. Searched can be done on page title or…

    • >> Intended as a simple clone of Pocket Finally, been waiting for so long for this. You have to pay premium to search with the tags....seriously

Objections

  • Missing a browser extension or bookmarklet

    From 2 comments
    • Seems like a more powerful replacement for the nextcloud bookmarks app which I use. But a bookmarklet would really ease the workflow.

  • No way to browse bookmarks, only search

    From 1 comment
    • Looks promising. However, I really need a way to browse my bookmarks vs. searching them. Maybe that'll be added in a later update?

Requests

  • Browser add-on or bookmarklet

    From 2 comments
    • Looks very cool. Any plans for a browser integration/plugin? I save a lot of bookmarks, sometimes even multiple at once (with tree style tab).

  • Pocket import or sync

    From 1 comment
    • It would be nice if it were able to import (or sync some bookmarks with some tag etc.) with pocket.

  • Helm chart or Kubernetes deployment template

    From 1 comment
    • This looks great, building and running it seems straightforward. Helm chart or K8s deployment.yaml template would be handy too :)

  • Does it integrate with youtube-dl for videos

    From 1 comment
    • Do any of these bookmark archivers integrate with youtube-dl to keep copies of videos for supported sites? I especially can't stand 404s with those. I mean fuck, my best youtube…

  • Crestify

    From 1 comment
    • Also have a look at Crestify[0]. It doesn't store local copies of the bookmarks, but instead archives them to Archive.org and Archive.today. It is open source and PRs are…

  • Pinboard

    From 1 comment
    • I'm a big fan of Pinboard, personally. It's super cheap and the creator is committed to never selling off my data (obviously there's an element of trust there, but then again,…
