What does HackerNews think of Shaarli?
The personal, minimalist, super-fast, database free, bookmarking service - community repo
I have been using it for the past 15 years with great satisfaction.
There's a whole community of "shaarlist" in France, you can also fuse several shaarli in a "river"... Some rivers are my 2nd HckrNws when I want to read something.
I like OP's idea of automated PDF save.
For Android users, one strong point of Shaarli is that there's a companion app, https://github.com/dimtion/Shaarlier, that allows you to save notes/links through the Android share menu.
Looking around at other self-hosted options in that space brought me to a few other contenders like Shaarli (https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli) and Shiori (https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori).
Shaarli has been around forever and is insanely quick to load and add links, I just wish it had some sort of web-clipping support.
Shiori seems ideal as a replacement, but it was essentially unmaintained for 1+ years, though a new maintainer stepped in within the last few weeks and has been pretty active during that time, so hopefully optimistic.
I'll be watching Shiori for the next few months and see where it stands with development, then decide to make the move or not.

You can't embed videos, on mobile the web version works well. Has simple browser extensions and a terminal client. I.e. works everywhere.
It's a project from Sebsauvage[2] (an old school french blogger), who wanted to build a social network around the RSS technology.
I know there are projects around it to aggregate multiple shaarli and use it as an actual social network based around sharing links with RSS. I didn't search about it, but it seems that shaarlo[3] is one of them. EDIT: actually, projects like this are listed in shaarli's documentation[4].
EDIT2: tt-rss-shaarli seems to be what you want, Tiny-Tiny RSS with Shaarli, an aggregator with a sharing/commenting functionality.

With the intelligent address bars of the browsers, you can search and find for most of the recent stuff that you used, and even sometimes very old stuff.
I don't use bookmarks anymore, and I feel like the bookmark bar is most of the time a useless distraction.
If there is things I really want to keep, I post it in a public Shaarli[1] instance where I force myself to use tags, description and informative title.

I know there's wallabag, but i always felt it was too hefty for self-hosting on, say, a small digital ocean vps. I've been using Shaarli [https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli] because its so lean, and easy/quick to set up...though admittedly it is also lean on features (which i'm cool with, but others might want more). My hope is that pocket - once made to be self-hostable - is easy and lean to self-host on a small vps.
...Though even if its not as lean and easy to set up, the fact that pocket will now/soon be added to the open source world is always a win!
