Seems like the tag system is flat, which is a big limitation on the organization capability. For example, I noticed that in the demo access app, there's a note about cooking, and it has 4 tags: - `baking` - `cupcakes` - `oven cooking` - `recipe` This would get out of hand quickly. There should be a hierarchy of tags (categories): `cupcakes` in `baking` in `oven cooking` in `recipe` The only tag needed in this case fo…

i feel this feature is not quite needed in the age of AI

I tried hoarder and I didn't like the way listed view works. I prefer the simplicity of the view provided by Linkding. I find hoarder new auto tagging with ollama something I want to use because I am lazy. For references there are many options in selfhosted bookmarking apps market. These beside Hoarder are the most known software. Linkwarden ( https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden ) Shaarli ( https://github.com/sh…

Kind of a shot in the dark, but would you (or anyone else here) remember the name/website of a similar subscription app that was modern/minimal in appearance, and iirc was developed by Chinese devs? I remember seeing it I think on HN itself, likely as a comment somewhere. (I think folks were concerned about the data storage/privacy aspect, but iirc the service was very well designed/comprehensive).

You might be thinking of https://raindrop.io which is developed by a Kazakh developer?

Thanks a lot but I don’t think it’s that, I’ve been aware of raindrop for quite some time (even before I knew of this one I think) and this app only had a paid tier, no free/selfhosted options (which is why I didn’t bother making an account.)

(Just thinking out loud.. if I were to find all HN threads discussing such apps (maybe searching for raindrop or pocket?) via the search I might find it more quickly.)

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.

is it open source? Can you share the link for it please.

Hierarchies get out of hand quickly too. You will soon find that different people (or the same person at different times) create different hierarchies for the same thing and that the same thing belongs in multiple places.
