Safari support would be great. Any chance of a self hosted version?

#82Hi Gabe, I used to work with you when you interned at APL on BSP! I'm glad to see you are doing great things and wish you the best of luck. This is an interesting product that I think has a lot of promise as a "pensieve" a la Harry Potter. Let me know when you start hiring :)
Been a minute since the APL days though I still have fond memories of my time there. Big fan of the Pensieve analogy, maybe we'll throw that in the landing page lol

It's part of the roadmap, likely releasing in Q2 Is that your browser of choice?
its the default browser on my phone especially when i open links from other apps, if that is not captured, then its not much use for me
If mobile saving is what you're interested in, we can likely get that shipped even faster :)

#85This reminds of Rewind [1]. I'm not affiliated to them in anyway, but I have been using their product for a few months and finding it quite useful. Their approach of screenshotting everything and saving it locally is more convenient for me, at least. [1] https://www.rewind.ai/
doesn’t that run locally as well?

#87What about privacy? Why is no one here talking about privacy?
Thanks for bringing this up, as privacy is one of (if not THE) highest priorities for us. Happy to answer any questions you have, here are some preliminary notes that might be helpful: 1. We don't sell your data. Our business model is subscription based and we have DPAs with model providers to ensure none of that data is used for training 2. All data you explicitly save to zenfetch is encrypted in transit and at rest…
What did you mean by this? The data (articles which users save) you store remains encrypted?

#88Can you do the same but with bookmarks instead?

The database provider we use encrypts all customer data at-rest by default using AES-256 to secure all volume (disk) data.

#90I used to be the guy who would save cool websites I stumble across so I could 'read them later'. Lol, ya right. Fast forward to today, I've been using Zenfetch for a few months now. Basically, everything I read, or wish I had the time to read / watch (they support Youtube too) gets saved on my Zenfetch library. Being able to ask for summaries of stuff you are browsing in real time is great for picking up new knowledg…
