A recent thread about a similar product: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24004588 Personally, I think just those limits make this a non-starter for me. 30 resources per topic over 250 topics is a total of just 7.5k links, which is nothing. Charging $19.99 a year for that (and that's introductory pricing!) is insanity, especially when there's free bookmarking tools, some of which are even open source or self host…

I'm working on yet another alternative, which we're about to launch: https://www.tefter.io/teams/free-trial We charge 39$/month flat, no limitations on the number of users, links, lists. The domain of bookmarking is definitely crowded, but we're focusing providing a solution where you forget you're dealing with bookmarks.

You are not alone. The first thing I went to look for was an export feature. No mention of it on the landing page.

Has anyone a good open source, self hosted alternative of this? Since I don't know any, I was thinking of starting something like this at some point. Something to save interesting bookmarks/lightweight media (gifs, memes, ...) or even small blog articles. Make it federated, with some full text search feature ala elastic search but more lightweight, with a reddit like interface.
