Hoarder 📦 - The Bookmark Everything App - 3.5k Stars later!
Early this year, I built Hoarder as a side project of mine that addresses a need that I had. I thought I'd share it with the community here (link) in case someone else finds it useful. I had zero expectations. Maybe a couple of stars on the repo and that's it. And boy, I was so wrong! The reddit post received more engagement than what I'd have ever imagined. Suddenly, there's a lot of people using Hoarder, requesting features, and reporting bugs. I was so excited the first time I got a pull request in the repo. It was the usual typo fixes in the documentation, etc but still, someone took the time to contribute to Hoarder which I appreciated. A couple of days layer, out of nowhere, someone managed to navigate my code and submitted a pull request for a full fledged feature end to end without me even knowing it was happening. Suddenly, Hoarder got PDF support. The power of open source! You can't imagine how happy I get every time I see someone recommending Hoarder in one of the comments in this sub. Every time someone posts a screenshot of their self hosted dashboards, I skim through their apps to see if Hoarder makes an appearance there. And today, I woke up on a video from u/davidnburgess34 showcasing Hoarder (link) that has thousands of views. This all started from just one post here, and I'm so grateful to this community. I haven't made any posts since the initial announcement of Hoarder 6 months ago as I didn't want to spam the sub with updates. Also u/shol-ly's great newsletter of "This week in self-hosted" already covers every release of Hoarder. But given that we recently hit 3k stars on github, I thought I can give you a quick summary about what changed since the initial announcement! So what is Hoarder? Hoarder is an open-source self-hosted bookmark-everything app with a touch of AI. You throw in anything you want (links, text, images, pdfs) and Hoarder will use LLMs to understand this content and automatically generate a bunch of tags for this content. Hoarder will also index this content giving you a blazingly fast full text search experience for faster retrieval! Hoarder provides browser extensions and mobile apps to minimize the friction of hoarding stuff!

As you can tell, a lot has changed in 6 months. I'm really grateful to our awesome contributors who contributed a bunch of the features I listed above, to our users, and to this community without which Hoarder wouldn't have gained any traction. Thank you! If you're enjoying Hoarder and you want to support it: drop the repo a star, review the mobile apps and browser extension and you can buy me a coffee from the link in the repo if you want :) [link] [comments] |
