Great product, very easy and unobtrusive in use, easy onboarding.
No selfhosted version unfortunately.

Wow! This is a powerful tool. This is the first one I actually want to try in years.
Currently "bookmarking" links and interesting thoughts in Evernote. Evernote has a very decent search across all the notes I have ever taken. But it's a struggle to save the info there on the phone, so I usually send interesting links to the browser on the computer via Pushbullet, read them in the evening and if they are truly worth saving then save to Evernote.
For me it's interesting about Memex is that the data is stored locally, but I can share it between devices (securely) and I could export it whenever I want. Owning my data as a user is important for me. This is actually why I like Evernote, is that I know I can access all the notes offline and export them at any time.
Being able to annotate information on the web adds another layer for context.
I didn't find it myself - can I "follow" or allow someone to "subscribe" to my notes, so we could share the gathered information with each other?
Product Hunt People, we are back! :)
Memex 2 launches including its mobile app for iOS and Android.
After our launch of Memex 1.0 last year we were able to raise 200k to overhaul Memex and build our first mobile app.
This crowd has substantially contributed both as users and also financial supporters.

💫Our product and fundraising ethics:
We are an open-source project and are proud to be funded entirely without selling private equity or VC money.
Instead we are funded through grants and an investment model called "Steward Ownership". It ensures that the company can never be sold and our investors are rewarded with a capped profit share. This way we create an incentive structure that optimises our company for staying a great & long-term sustainable service not for maximising growth & shareholder profits to the expense of your privacy, provider freedom or attention. More about this: https://bit.ly/383JR3H
It was incredibly difficult to raise money with this uncommon investment model. We made it this far, but we are not in the safe-zone yet. This launch will be important to get us on track to financial independence and stability. Even if you don't use Memex yet, but want to see the world we try to contribute to, consider supporting via https://opencollective.com/world... and let us know in the forums how to improve Memex for you. (https://community.worldbrain.io)
Your continued support is invaluable to finance an independent alternative to the current paradigms of building digital services ❤️❤️❤️
If you feel like contributing to our development to make Memex better for you and the other users, we are happy to welcome you in our team chat!

This service is brilliant but it is a shame that you have to pay to share your account with other devices.

This is the greatest bookmarking app I have ever used.
In the past, I've used bookmarking apps such as Instapaper and Pocket both possessed their unique and beneficial characteristics and functions. However, when I found Memex it changed everything, it has functions identical to Instapaper and Pocket but with vast superiority. For me, I like to find links and save them in an organised manner but I found that challenging, I could never find an app that could organise efficiently.
Of course, Pocket and Instapaper have tags but Memex stands out because it gives you the ability to organise links in folders and tags. Other apps simply did not possess that and organising links with only tags is a challenge and finding the link I need is paramount and I have always struggled with that until Memex.
Not only that Memex has its own unique features such as the ability to highlight, comment and save notes on websites while saving them in a system of folders and tags!
I highly recommend Memex if you are a student or researcher or similar.
