What does HackerNews think of espial?

I use Espial[1] for bookmark management. It’s a self-hosted Pinboard clone.

An alternative, one that I began using a year ago after losing confidence in Pinboard is the self-hosted Espial - https://github.com/jonschoning/espial.

The visual presentation is a near complete clone of Pinboard. It also provides a route for Pinboard import.

For self hosting, there's also espial [1] which can import from pinboard.

Very recently I deployed (in my personal VPS) espial (https://github.com/jonschoning/espial) which basically a self-hosted pinboard clone. I'm extremely happy with it.

I wish it had a browser plugin but besides that it is amazing

making a minimal self-hosted bookmarking site https://github.com/jonschoning/espial

I put all my notes and bookmarks in my self-hosted bookmarking site https://github.com/jonschoning/espial . I definitely agree with the author that the combo of tags, search, the feed, and notes is very effective technique that I sure every day.

For my bookmarks, I self-host Espial, an open-source, web-based bookmarking server. https://github.com/jonschoning/espial

I like the ingestion via bookmarklet method, as it's low user overhead; just does the job and gets out of your way.

I have 73k bookmarks on my instance, which other sass sites sometimes aren't optimized for, and can be sluggish while filtering searching etc.. (users normally have around 5k)

I can add detail for a docker build if desired, but the build from source is pretty straightforward.

piling on... I build a bookmarking site (self-hosted) with Haskell https://github.com/jonschoning/espial/

Google Keep is an interesting because it's hard to exactly categorize exactly what it is, or exactly what use case it attempts support.

It's kind of like a crossover between a private Pinterest, a bookmarking app, and a note taking app.

So it's multi-paradigm.

But of you know your use case better, you can tailor your soltution to fit.

You can then make better decisions on online/offline, where to store state, web vs native etc.. this is the benefit of simplyfing and clarifying your use case.

For example, I am a heavy bookmarker (~70k bookmarks), so I built an open-source, self-hosted (I don't want to own your bookmarks) bookmarking web app (https://github.com/jonschoning/espial). It is pretty minimal, but it is tailored to quickly bookmarks while browsing. I didn't bother with native because I am already in a browser context when I want to bookmark something.

But maybe I am just biased towards web hosted tech. I just don't see the value add for native unless it's doing something intimately connected with the physical device or physical user.

I made an an open-source, web-based bookmarking server to host my bookamrks privately.

Currently it uses sqlite, for ease of deployment.
