I thought the same thing! I started looking for a self-hosted alternative straight away.
The closest thing you can get that is opensource is https://www.wallabag.org/ But it needs more work to be useful to me. For instance, I don't always want to save the contents of the webpage, but just the link along with some notes or tags.

When Dropbox first launched, there were already 8 or so competitors.
Just had a chat with my designer and I think will continue. Maybe this is a good opportunity to learn.

Could you expand on this? I use pocket for 'read this later'. Raindrop.io seems very well suited for bookmarks so far.
Pocket is limiting me on articles only.. (psychologically). I always wanted an app where I can save my links, for say images on the web, or videos with a description of the timestamp I have reached at. Maybe I want to keep bookmarks for later, but it's not worthy for it to be in my bookmarks bar in my browser and it's not an article (say at top 20 list to submit your startup written by a YC user).
They have an app (for android at least, not sure about iOS) with which you can share stuff to. So from your (mobile/desktop) browser you can store anything that has a url.

#27Why does chrome keep showing a "Translate this" button on pages (i'm on signup page). There is something which is making it think it is not in English. Just a heads-up!
Plus, the Chrome extension displays hover text in Russian. http://www.evernote.com/shard/s27/sh/9510a5b2-4910-46c4-b52f...
In addition, many companies like Facebook offer localized versions of SDK downloads and Widget scripts. Thus, when a developer somewhere in China downloads the SDK and puts the tags on their page, people from all over the world will see Facebook authentication dialog in Chinese.
Localization can be tricky.
