I built OpenHighlights because I kept having the same problem: I would find something useful online, save the tab or bookmark it, and almost never find it again. I wanted something simpler — highlight the important part while reading, add a quick note if needed, and have everything organized in one place. That became OpenHighlights. It works as a web clipper and highlighting tool for articles, documentation, research, PDFs, and other things you want to return to later. One of the decisions I cared about most was making it local-first. I didn’t want every highlight or note to depend on another cloud account just to remain useful. This is still an early version, and I’m especially interested in learning where the workflow feels slow or incomplete. Thanks for checking it out.
