After quite some exploring around and struggles I made my peace with https://raindrop.io . Am I happy with that? Of course not. But that's the only hosted one which has extensions and apps for almost every browser and OS I use. I wish there a functional open source service (hosted) with wide range of platforms support that I could pay for and use.

I made an app for this actually, called Showcase. You can bookmark any content——Youtube videos, websites, Tweets, Instagram posts—— and store it all together. You can use it on browser where you can paste directly onto the canvas (+ chrome extension coming) or iOS that has a Share Extension too.

It's also free ;)

Demo for Showcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehGolVAHm8U

I have settled on https://readeck.org/ it's absolutely brilliant. It supports postgres and a service with systemd. omnom looks promising, will keep an eye on it.

I encourage you to check out my app ;)

Looks really nice. ETA on play store release? Or do you have a alpha/beta apk?

Since it requires a browser extension anyway, is it possible to build something like this local-first and lean on Chrome/Firefox built-in syncing?

+1 for local-first. there needs to be a local first bookmark/snapshot manager. where you can own your data without requiring hosting or installing things.

Buku does this. You have to run bukubrowse server locally, but the extension then connects to localhost. I have a cli that lists my bookmarks and makes it easy for me to copy/paste or clickopen.
