I think the opposite - until an hour ago I wasn't aware this category of software even existed. As soon as I learned of it, first thing I wanted to know is what else is out there that solves the same problem and how they compare. Some projects help you with this by featuring a quick rundown of similar software on their website/repository readme along with links to the repositories. I always appreciate that.

Then create a separate Show HN for it? There's no reason to mention your competing product in someones thread, other than to advertise for it.

But then they are two unrelated posts with two separate discussions. The whole point is that they are related and in the same discussion. It's more simple this way.

Hoping you don't mind a little shameless plug here, I'd like to talk about likedb: https://github.com/kozmos/likedb It's a bookmarking database that keeps a copy of all your bookmarks in your computer, but automatically syncs to your other devices. Similar to what Chrome and Safari do between your desktop and mobile devices. Although it's built particularly for Kozmos (getkozmos.com), you can build a service that syn…

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 playlists are littered with "[Deleted Video]" entries and I don't even have the title to figure out where to find a copy.

Is it really necessary to hijack others "Show HN"? These types of posts should be banned.

Yeah, I think it's pretty annoying. For example, this is now the top comment and hijacks actual discussion on the OP's work. Feels inappropriate for a Show HN.

Let's say there's a dominant contender in this space that always blows any Show HN out of the water. So what? That should be a different post. If we're going to see ourselves as a group of hackers, then we should be able to talk about each other's standalone work. It's just become super corny when these threads are used as marketing for other projects.

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 cached copy of page. As your solution is self hosted, it is good. Wish I knew Go tools to use it.

> Wish I knew Go tools to use it. What do you mean?

I meant I don't have any experience with Go setup, tools and stuff since it is made with Go.

I mean if they are unrelated, shouldn't they have separate discussions?

Someone should make some sort of web service for collecting and organizing links.

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, all web services involve an element of trust). Oh, and the $25/year plan offers link archival too.

This is where people working on similar ideas can get together and chat, right ?

Let's cut through the nonsense here, you're advertising your product in someone else's post, and successfully became the top comment in doing so. Thus diverting any other discussion on the authors work, to only yours. I'm all for good discussions, that's why HN is my only forum I participate in, but doing this, in my opinion, sucks.
