  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • SingleFile

    Web Extension for saving a faithful copy of a complete web page in a single HTML file

  • I’ve tried all the third party services for archiving interesting things over the years but nothing beats saving everything to your local filesystem using [SingleFile](https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile) and using a full-text search front over the directory (something like Houdahspot, for example).

  • omnivore

    Omnivore is a complete, open source read-it-later solution for people who like reading.

  • Pocket could have been much more; it should be something between [omnivore.app](https://omnivore.app/) and Evernote's scrap-booking feature and then it would be immensely useful and bring people to Firefox. In its current form, it's a fancy bookmark maker that I don't ever use.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • single-file-cli

    CLI tool for saving a faithful copy of a complete web page in a single HTML file (based on SingleFile)

  • This is amazing, looks like there's a cli version too: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/single-file-cli

    Presumably you can roll your own pocket now.

  • hamsterbase

    self-hosted, local-first web archive application.

  • Some time ago I decided to write my own program to manage my links [1].

    I don't want to sign up anywhere. I don't want algorithms and suggestions. My app is on LAN network. I can add links, download data, search, add tags, highlight.

    Some things do not work. It is work in progress. I am not a web dev so it is bare bones. I do not use JavaScript, as I hate it. It uses Django and celery.

    Once a day I make my bookmarks public [2].

    I am still learning. I just wanted to say you do not have to rely on anything to host a link aggregation software.
