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.

I love this and love that it's built in Python, but…

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

I like Pinboard and think it’s a great service.

Personally, I don’t like services for software. I like this model where I pay for my own hosting (which I do already) and run OSS software for free. To me, the DIY model is suitable and sustainable for user level programmers.

Smart auto-tagging.

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!

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?

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

While we're here, I'd love your assessment of the xmarks alternatives

I really miss having synchronised bookmarks between chrome, chromium, and firefox. All my bookmarks live / fit in the bookmarks bar, and synced bookmarks were a deitysend for seamless movement between laptop/desktop/vdi/work/home/etc.
