Then there's also ArchiveBox[2] which can convert your browser history into various formats.

I remember seeing in the FAQ [1] that pages above 32 MB won't be archived. That's not much with how bloated pages are these days. I wonder if the page + assets is exceeding that limit?

> Is there a size limit on archived links?

> There is a 32 MB size limit per link, which is typically enough for all but the largest pages. Links larger than 32 MB may not be archived.

As an alternative, ArchiveBox [2] has Pinboard support.

Seems, it was a mistake.

Archiving stopped around 85% of my bookmarks.

I've had those problems before, especially when the owner played U.S. politics and didn't care much about Pinboard anymore. I still went back.

Pinboard's support doesn't reply to mails, Pinboard's Twitter account doesn't reply, either.

I've asked for a refund (within the one week refund window). No reply.

Maybe he'll reply here. Last time I had such problems he also ignored my mails for a long time and finally replied on HN.

People, look at Wallabag seriously. Maybe Pocket. And maybe Archivebox (https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox).

Great to see the suggestions people have had (letting people see the product, giving install details etc) and you've been super responsive.

You mention in replies below about integrating with other tools as a way for it to work. I don't know how feasible this might be, but a tool I've been keen to use that it might fit well with is Archive Box: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox

If you could integrate with something like that, it would focus on managing the content and this would be about the learning/recall testing. Is that the kind of approach you'd be aiming for?

It's very fast and ~4 lines of code. It's surprising how often I rediscover old blog posts & papers that are much better than what Google yields me.

From my experience Recoll isn't very good at searching for aliases sadly.

Browsing through crawls has this neat side-effect of being able to serendipitously discover things that I missed back in the day just by having everything laid out on the file system.

PSA: There's a lot of holes in most crawls, even for popular stuff. A good way to ensure that you can revisit content later is submitting links to the Wayback Machine with the "Save Page Now" [1] functionality. Some local archivers like ArchiveBox [2] let you automate this. Highly recommended to make a habit of it.
