Roast my startup - I cloned Pocket after it died and called it FetchMark

After Pocket shut down I realized I had 800 saved articles I will definitely never read again.

So I built FetchMark, 1-click save, clean reader, tags, search. Basically Pocket but without Mozilla killing it.

Tech: Next.js + Supabase + Plasmo for the extension

Current stats: \~300 users, $0 MRR because it's free and I'm too scared to charge anyone.

Be honest - would you actually switch from your bookmarks/Instapaper/Readwise, or is this just another dead read-later app?

Roast my landing page, my idea, everything. I can take it.

I was stuck when Mozilla killed Pocket last year. The export was just a huge HTML file with dead links, and Raindrop/Instapaper are closed + cloud-only.

So I moved to a setup that is actually searchable and keeps snapshots:

\- Full offline snapshots so links never rot (Pocket never did this)

\- Keeps tags + favicons from export

\- Full-text search inside the saved content, not just titles

\- One-click import for Pocket HTML

I ended up building it as FetchMark - privacy-focused and not tied to Google/Mozilla. It's the workflow I wanted: actually searchable, not just a list.

For anyone still stuck migrating, happy to share how I did the import without losing tags. What are you all using now after Pocket died?

Hey r/Notion!

​Like a lot of you, my Notion workspace used to be a graveyard for random browser bookmarks that I swore I’d read later. Half of them ended up behind paywalls, broken links, or turned into messy web clippings that completely broke my database formatting.

​I got tired of the clutter and wanted something built strictly for research digestion and fast archiving, so I built FetchMark.

​It’s an offline-first web app (with a Chrome extension) designed to rescue web content before it disappears.

​What it actually does:

1. ​Instant Reader View: Strips away all the ads, cookie banners, and sidebar junk so you get a clean text view.

2. ​AI Summarization: Generates quick summaries if you don't have 20 minutes to read a dense technical post or documentation page.

3. ​Auto-Archiving & Markdown Export: Saves a permanent local copy and lets you export straight to Markdown if you prefer dropping your research into Notion, Obsidian, or local folders.

​It’s currently in open beta with free access to all features (no credit card required). If you're a data hoarder or researcher who wants a cleaner way to capture the web, you can check it out at fetchmarkapp.com.

​Would love to hear how you guys currently handle your web clipping workflows inside (or outside) of Notion!

I had many bookmarks that I could never find again. Pocket shutting down also pushed me harder.

I am therefore building FetchMark , a bookmark manager that actually saves all your stuff.

It saves an original **scraped copy** so that you never loose content even if the original website dies or goes down.

I incorporated a 1 click **import action** from Pocket / Raindrop / Browser.

The chrome extension is also live on **Chrome Web Store** to make saving process as easy as possible

For any SaaS builders who stock links for research, what feature would make you interested?

Link is in the comment section if anyone is curious.

Hey r/SideProject!

I built FetchMark - an ad-free Reader View + permanent Markdown archiver to fight link rot.

The goal: 1-click to save any article to Obsidian/Notion and actually be able to read it later.

I launched it on VibeRank this week and it just jumped 598 spots to #15 on the monthly board.

Still trying to break into Top 10.

For fellow builders here: what’s the #1 thing missing that would make you use this?

Is the reader clean enough? What features would make this a "must have"?

Built with Lovable + React.

Thanks for any feedback!

Hey everyone,

Like a lot of you here, I read a ton of technical articles and news daily. Honestly, I grew incredibly frustrated by trying to read a 4-paragraph article on a modern news layout, only to be hit with cookie banners, newsletter overlays, and massive promotional grids (looking at you, BBC and your giant BritBox ads).

Worse yet, half the references I bookmarked last year are now hit by "link rot"—the original sites either went offline or changed their URL paths entirely.

So, I built Fetchmark. It bridges the gap between a rapid link scratchpad and a permanent personal knowledge archive.

How it works:

1. You save a link instantly as a lightweight bookmark.
2. If you want to keep it forever, our server-side engine executes a scrape. It uses custom DOM text-density filters to aggressively strip out layout clutter, paywall banners, and ad matrices.
3. It generates a pristine, pure-text Reader View and a clean, portable Markdown (.md) file you can export straight to your local notes (perfect for Obsidian/Notion users).

I’ve spent the last couple of weeks completely hardening the code—writing custom case-insensitive sub-string filters and DOM blockers just to stop modern obfuscated newsletter blocks from slipping into the text. The app runs a production build cleanly with an integrated "Rescrape on demand" layout.

Try out for your first 5 links.

To be completely transparent: I currently have exactly ZERO users. I am a solo developer trying to make distribution happen.

I’m not here to sell you anything. I genuinely want to find my first user, and more importantly, I want an experienced engineering founder here to absolutely tear my dashboard layout apart and tell me what sucks.

If you have 2 minutes, grab a messy article link, paste it in, and drop your worst link below - tabloids, paywalls, JS sites. I dare you to break it.

Thanks for reading!
