Two thoughts:

- I like the no-nonsense landing page, but what I'd like more is to be able to see what the product actually looks like without having to sign up. At least screenshots, but a demo would be nice.

- I'm looking to migrate away from Pinboard, but I like how you can see all of a user's bookmarks (e.g: https://pinboard.in/u:justusthane) unless they mark them private. I get that the point of Webtag is it's private by default, but it would also be cool if this was an option.

Sounds cool, but my bookmarks are too valuable to save on the servers of someone I'm not paying a subscription to :-x

This is open-source, you can spin up your own instance.

Wish this had docker image. I don't want to install npm to spin this up.

I would like something like this but self-hosted. I have a collection of .html bookmark files from over the years and would love to consolidate them all into one place without having to sync them to Google/Microsoft/3rd party.

Thanks!

I currently use Firefox bookmarks, synced through my Mozilla account. What would be the advantages for me if I were to use Webtag? Related: does anyone know if there's any limit to synced bookmarks/history in Firefox?

Do you ever feel like Firefox is forgetting your bookmarks or search is bad?

Not endorsing this project or any other, but from time to time I’m a bit suspicious that firefox is dropping some links I’m sure I saved/not surfacing some links I’m fairly sure were related to my search.

Likely all in my head though!
