In this day and age, what with *gestures at everything* it's important to preserve and record information that may be removed from the internet, lost or forgotten. I've recently been using [Hoarder](https://hoarder.app/) to create a self-hosted personal archive of web content that I've found interesting or useful. Hoarder is an open source project that runs on your own server and allows you to search, filter and tag web content. Crucially, it also takes a full copy of web content and stores it locally so that you can access it even if the original site goes down.
## A Brief Review of Hoarder

Hoarder is a pretty cool tool and, it's been easy to get up and running with. It's quickly evolving despite the size of the team behind it and it provides an impressive and easy user experience already. In order to become even more useful for me personally, I'd love to see better annotation support in-app both via the desktop web experience and via the mobile app. I'd also love to see a mobile app with features for reading articles in-app rather than opening things in the browser. Also, it would be great if we could export cached content as an ebook so that I can read bookmarked content on my kindle or my kobo.
I'd also be interested in a decentralised social future for apps like hoarder. Imagine if you could join a federation of Hoarder servers which all make their bookmarked content available for search and reference. Annotations and notes could even (optionally) be shared. This would be a great step towards a more open alternative to centralized search services.
