Excuse me, can you point out where the weird comma is.

My native language is not English.

I don't understand, the landing page says "self-hosted" and offers docker images. Then the linked hamsterbase GitHub repo [0] has no code in it.

Is this open-source or proprietary software?

Also curious- why use a rodent-oriented name for such an amazing project?

If you must stick with the rodent theme, "GopherBase" sounds a little less icky IMHO. Otherwise, what do you think of "SelfWayback"? :)

In German, "hamstern" is hoarding.

1. In chinese 仓鼠症(Hamster Disease) means Compulsive hoarding

2. This is a self-hosted proprietary software, We will provide open source sdk and full-featured API documentation in the future.

Can we export the notes/highlights?

hamsterbase6• 4 years ago

All data is local and does not leave your computer.

1. the future will provide API documentation, API support for all functions.

2. an open source SDK will be provided in the future to support reading the entire database.

3. The future will provide detailed design documentation for the database format .

It's not as good as ArchiveBox at the moment.

In the future we will provide

1. peer-to-peer, conflict-free synchronization. (base on CRDT)

2. local-first desktop client, mobile client. (no server dependency)

3. notes software integration (obsidian, logseq)

4. chrome extension

At that time, I believe hamsterbase can be comparable to ArchiveBox.

Awesome. I'm pretty invested in Archivebox and archivewarrior. No reason I can't diversify
