hamsterbase supports singlefile. You can save web pages directly with singlefile. You can see the documentation below

https://hamsterbase.com/docs/integrations/singlefile.html

hamsterbase··on My bad habit of hoarding information
hamsterbase offers an api with an open source sdk that could perhaps be combined with openai.

https://hamsterbase.com/developer/

hamsterbase··on My bad habit of hoarding information
To solve this problem, I have developed a local-first read-it-later software specifically for this purpose.

I used the singlefile plugin to save thousands of articles in my bookmarks as offline html and then imported them into hamsterbase. Now I only have Twitter, HN, GitHub and other popular sites in my bookmarks.

Because the data is all local, I will have the feeling that I really own them. I don't think I'll have time to read them in the future, so maybe I can get chatgpt to do it for me.

The software is currently completely free and all data is local, so if you are interested, give it a try.

https://hamsterbase.com

I have saved all the articles I am interested in so that I can search for them in full when I need them. I don't have to worry about losing the site because the data is local.

Here's how I use it

1. when I come across an article of interest, I take a quick look at it and save it as mhtml in cmd + s. hamsterbase will automatically import and index it.

2. I've designed the unread list to only show articles added within 14 days, so I don't have to worry about piling up thousands of unread articles, I'll read through them when I can and highlight them as I read them.

3. I can quickly find the previously saved pages because of the support by domain, date added, whether they have comments or not, and whether they are liked or not.

4. I've deployed a copy on my Synology and am running the desktop side on my mac and pc (not released yet, still eating enough food for myself). Peer-to-peer sync between the three devices

5. Since I don't have the energy to develop the mobile side at the moment (this is a side project), I have developed an RSS interface to output the saved pages as rss so that I can read them on my iPhone with my favourite rss reader.

hamsterbase··on Ask HN: Do you use a bookmark manager?
yes, you can try https://hamsterbase.com/

1. 100% 0ffline

2. support selfhosted

3. singlefile supports saving pages directly to HamsterBase via webdav.

   https://hamsterbase.com/docs/integrations/singlefile.html
4. organization with tags.

5. fulltext serach

hamsterbase··on Ask HN: How do you save web articles for later reading?
You can try hamsterbase, provides selfhosted versions for winddows and linux. The desktop version is under development and will be released in the next version.

https://hamsterbase.com/

It is currently free during beta.

Key features 1. local-first: functionality is completely offline and not server-dependent

2. privacy first: currently no information is collected

3. peer-to-peer synchronization: all devices stay in the same state

4. Non-subscription: Pay only for the features you need

The following features are available

1. webpage annotations

2. full text search

3. import mhtml, html

4. connect singlefile extension

5. customize view, Filter pages by attributes such as domain, tag, creation time, etc.

hamsterbase··on Show HN: SingleFile is finally available on Safari (macOS/iOS)
I have created a completely offline knowledge management tool that can connect to singilefile and store web pages with one click.

Once saved, it supports highlighting, full text search, and creating RSS feeds.

In addition to html, it also supports importing mthml, webarchive.

Thanks to singilefile, I don't need to develop a separate browser plugin.

Document: https://hamsterbase.com/docs/integrations/singlefile.html

hamsterbase··on Ask HN: What's a good business model for selling standalone software?
1. Each feature will be assigned a release date

2. $45 purchase gets you all the current features and all the features updated in the next 1 year.

3. even if you don't renew, you can update to the latest version and enjoy the bugs.

4. can be purchased at any time for $15 for a second time.

This is the business model I recently developed for the Read Later software. There is a premise to implement this model "the software itself is not server dependent, all features are implemented locally"

Here is my pricing page. https://hamsterbase.com/pricing/

hamsterbase··on Ask HN: How do you plan to archive all your digital content?
E-Books:I use zotero to store all my books and notes. Using webdav to back up data to nas.

Photos: I will manually copy the photos from the drone and DSLR to the nas and format the TF card after copying.

Phone photos: I use the software provided by my nas service provider to back up my photos

Web pages: I run my own docker version hamsterbase on nas. Store all the pages I am interested in.

hamsterbase··on Archive.org Seeks Summary Judgment in Lawsuit Filed by Publishing Companies
That's why I choose to save the webpages as mhtml , webarchive. Then use the tools developed by myself to search, annotate, and read.

All webpages is in my nas. keep them forever.

hamsterbase··on Show HN:Localfirst, selfhosted bookmark tool. Full text search, annotations, RSS
This is not an open source project. This is an open project.

1. the next version will provide a fully functional SDK and API 2. no server, all functions 100% offline. All data is local. 3. GitHub provides compressed javascript source code, no binary used.

hamsterbase··on Show HN: Muse 2.0 with local-first sync
Local-first software is my favorite article.

I studied CRDT for six months, read many CRDT papers and created my own local fist app.

hamsterbase··on Show HN: Self-Hosted wayback machine, pocket
It's not as good as ArchiveBox at the moment.

In the future we will provide

1. peer-to-peer, conflict-free synchronization. (base on CRDT)

2. local-first desktop client, mobile client. (no server dependency)

3. notes software integration (obsidian, logseq)

4. chrome extension

At that time, I believe hamsterbase can be comparable to ArchiveBox.
