Is there a nice polished selfhosted alternative to https:// raindrop.io/? I don't mind paying for it as long as I can host it myself. Preferably open source if possible. Any ideas?

So I’m a longtime Pocket user, and a recent Raindrop user. I just downloaded the Abyss app to check it out. So Pocket is focused on distraction free reading. Obviously it works for bookmarking as well, but that isn’t its primary focus, and it’s missing a few needed features for it to be excellent for bookmarking. The main issue is that you cannot change the title of items that you save. This mostly shows up if I’m trying to save Amazon items for a wishlist or saving Threader.app twitter threads. They get ugly, uninformative names, and you can’t change that. The second, more serious issue is that Pocket will resolve certain URL’s without asking first, and break the bookmark. When I save WashingtonPost.com articles, it will resolve them to Washington Post’s front page, and I loose the original bookmark. I assume it has something to do with the paywall. A few features make me a Pocket fan, in spite of those caveats. One is that Pocket allows me to highlight articles while I’m reading. I wish I could use those highlights in IFTTT triggers, or add notes, but highlighting is still an awesome feature that I use quite a bit. Pocket also keeps you in their awesome reading view even if you click on a link inside the app. This is big deal for me. It means I don’t deal with ads and subpar site design. I really like that. Finally, Pocket saves your reading list offline. Neither of the other two options do this. Raindrop.io feels like the new Pinboard (minus the huge privacy focus). There’s no offline support, not even to view the URL’s you’ve saved. There’s no fancy reading view, on iOS it just uses the built in Safari browser. There’s also no support for marking up articles you’ve saved. That said, Raindrop.io nails the bookmarking experience. It lets you edit the URL, title, and description of bookmarks. It offers tagging AND “collections” (basically folders, with custom layouts and nesting on the premium plan). It also works in the browser, saving all your bookmarks in the cloud for access from anyone’s computer. Oh, and RSS support for sharing collections. Honestly, it’s just really polished and sweet for bookmarking. When you import bookmarks, it automatically puts them in collections. So I imported my Pinboard account and it gave me a “Pinboard collection”. Same with my old Pocket account (I have new account, the old one...got too overcrowded. Lol). In fact, with Pocket, it created “To Read” and “Archive” collections. So it’s really a nice, polished bookmarking option. Abyss, by comparison seems like a glorified Safari Reading List. Tagging, the ability to add notes, favorites. But no offline support. On the other hand, the premium app experience is far less expensive than either of the other two apps, at 2.99.Raindrop.ioPremiumis28/year, and Pocket Premium is $45/year! So which option you go with may also depend on your budget. I hope this helps!
