Beats me why this isn't just a normal feature in the browser. No need for no stinkin' SAAS to do it ..

That was amazing feedback! Thanks a lot! About user-interface, I agree it needs improvement. Especially inbuilt reader needs some work. Can you suggest some improvements in UI?
Most of this is personal preference for me, so I would take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. There are some spacing issues here and there - the username/settings drop down next to the search input is not vertically aligned with the rest of the elements. The create new directory form and add URL form is pushed to the right a bit. I'd either center those or keep them aligned left. One thing I'd try is making the c…

I think, wget is even better and much older than it.
Ah thanks. HTTrack would be easier for those not educated in the command line though.
I have a ghetto version of this - I just print web pages to PDF, and then archive the PDF locally to storage. I have every website of interest to me I've ever read since 1997 saved this way - and can harvest a lot of data from the 16,000+ PDF files I now have.

Do you also use a folder hierarchy for separate topics, and-or a file naming scheme?
And have you scripted the pdf generation to an extent, or is everything done by hand? (I suppose manual saving and pdf naming might work as a fairly nice "bullshit filter", at least for some period.)
How much time does it usually take for you to store a link that way?

Pinboard has an archive option at a higher subscription level.
Where higher is still a ridiculously cheap $25/yr
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.

And you don’t have to care about disaster recovery, backup and upgrades? If I were half-serious about my bookmarks, I’d pay that much. I am not though and pinboard free account is enough.
(I didn't even know pinboard had free accounts.)

Not just that, but also link rot. In five years how many of those URLs will still have useful info on them? (I didn't even know pinboard had free accounts.)

I like the robustness of this type of solutions, so here's a bunch of questions: Do you also use a folder hierarchy for separate topics, and-or a file naming scheme? And have you scripted the pdf generation to an extent, or is everything done by hand? (I suppose manual saving and pdf naming might work as a fairly nice "bullshit filter", at least for some period.)

Time to store? As much time as it takes to print most web pages to PDF - i.e. mere seconds.
And there is so much data to be harvested in the collection - best of all, its all mine. No third-party gets to see it, collate the data, see where my interests are, sell me things, etc.
