This is cool. I am going to try this out. See also webrecorder.io. I want a record button in my browser bar that I can leave on!

Thanks. I didn't know about webrecorder. It also looks cool. I'll look into it.

very cool. may also be worth mentioning the difference between this and projects like shaarli, https://github.com/pirate/bookmark-archiver , etc.

Thanks! I have not used shaarli and bookmark-archiver personally. But from their documentation it looks like shaarli doesn't archive in various formats and doesn't have auto-tagging feature. About bookmark-archiver, I think one can't add links into it directly via web-interface and doesn't organize links directory-wise apart from features like auto-tagging and summarization. I'll look into alternative bookmark managers, and will try to provide some comparison chart in README.

A chrome extension would be necessary for something like this to replace Pinboard/Instapaper for me (I see that in the TODO already). But looks good otherwise. The only thing stopping me is the time commitment of hosting another app for personal use.

Why do you want to replace Pinboard/Instapaper? What feature do you miss?

Being self-hosted and open-source?

I don’t think they archive links. They only bookmark them. Am I wrong?

https://historio.us archives links. Disclosure, I wrote and run it.

Exciting! I'm still badly in need of a bookmark manager (and hopefully sync-capable) since xmarks shutdown. I'm looking at Shiori, ymarks, and Floccus. How does Reminiscence compare?

Also have a look at https://historio.us, which I wrote.

Nice. Are there plans to add saving of annotations (highlighting text and string to the link) like Diigo? Annotations seem to remain a elusive feature in a self hosted solution.

Thanks! I'll add support for annotations in project's TODO list. It'll be a nice addition to any archiving solution.

It looks quite innovative. I'll see if I can get some ideas from it.
