I use Obsidian for note-taking and personal knowledge management. I haven't used "save for later" bookmarklets or apps since I quit using Evernote many years ago, though.

If people are interested it was featured hear on HN a day or two ago but Obsidian released an extension called Obsidian Clipper that can save webpages in markdown format. https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-clipper

I use it when I need to get a table or something from a webpage. Works really well for small stuff.

I've one I built called Cras. Store all my neat things I find on the web there. Recently turned it into a PWA so it's a share-target on my phone (Android) which is awesome. It's self-hosted and all packed into SQLite so, IMO, very portable. Recently added a trick to snapshot all the public links I save - my copy and on Archive.is - link rot is real.

I've been thinking about building a service that makes it easy to self host apps like this. I'm curious if you'd find it useful.

It would host webapps like yours that use in browser sqlite to store data, then the service provide a sync their sqlite data across different devices. The user not the app would pay for the storage of the data, so they would own their data. And you can use CSP to lock down the app from sharing with other domains, meaning an app can't leak your data.

The service would handle identity (only you can access your sqlite data - the app just ) and could provide an app store like experience with different apps of this type.

Sort of like a firebase style backend as a service, but the user would own the data instead of the app.

I didn't know this existed for obsidian! This is perfect for me. Thanks for sharing

I use it for months now.

It's very good. Some points that can be improved:

- Search inside the description of the bookmark, it doesn't. - Update to a new version of hoarder. Since the software isn't stable, it's a real problem. - Related to the previous point => More archive formats.

Otherwise, it's a very good software. Easy to use, nice front-end, good UX.

anyone know how this compares to archivebox? Is it just bookmarks or does it download full pages? Bookmark applications are generally a failure for long term storage because links always change over time.. so i'm not sure what lense to look at this app through.

It does allow content retrieval so it does save local copy. And allow even downloading videos using yt-dl.

So far I love and am probably about to go all in, especially since you can bring your own "AI."

Relatedly (and I think the authors are working on it) anyone using local AI for tags and know good ways to tweak (I'm using Ollama and would love to constrain the the tags a bit?)
