I built Relic — a self-hostable bookmark/archive app
I wanted something better than dumping links into browser bookmarks, notes, or random “read later” apps.
So I’m building Relic: a place to save things from the web and actually keep them.
The idea is pretty simple:
- Save webpages, articles, videos, etc.
- Automatically extract useful metadata/tags
- Organize everything into collections
- Browser extension for quick saving
- Self-host it for personal, family, or small-team use
Additional features for later:
- Keep an archived snapshot so the content doesn't disappear when the original page changes
- Eventually support things like YouTube downloads/archiving through addons
The goal isn't to build another bookmarking app. I want it to feel more like a personal archive of the internet — things you found interesting enough that you don't want to lose them.
I'm currently working on the MVP and would love feedback from people who use Pocket, Raindrop, browser bookmarks, Obsidian, or similar tools.
What would make you actually switch to something like this?
