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.

I'm curious, where and how is the information stored as part of the service. Would be nice if you can share the deployment strategy that is being used as it suggests the framework for long term support.

Thanks and nice work

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Just spin up an alpine Linux image with node preinstalled. I got the server up and running in no time.

I recently came up with a new way to bookmark with Logseq and Raindrop that I like a lot -- https://reticulated.net/posts/a-better-bookmark-experience-w...

For a long time I wanted to figure out a way to organize my "bookmarks" that I have scattered all over the place. I have many many favorited posts on HN, I used Reddit's "save" feature, I add videos to "watch later" or some other playlist in Youtube, etc etc. I thought maybe I could one day unify all this into one place where I can tag them so I know why I bookmarked them (I have definitely sifted through pages of my HN favorites trying to find something). At this point though, I have too much to go through that the task seems daunting. But now that we have AI, I have shifted my mindset to wanting to just feed everything to AI and just have a chat interface where I can ask it for what I want. I feel like that is the future of organization (at least for me it is). Ideally it would be something self-hosted

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.

I appreciate that, but I prefer pay someone else to keep the server up

Same here. I'm saving my pennies to buy a decent machine to work on precisely that.
