Interesting project and approach. I would like to host the captures locally though, otherwise I'd risk potentially losing years of captures and other useful information that is works on PageStash only if PS goes under.

Not a fan of subscriptions either, but I guess hosting and LLM analysis is a recurrent cost to PS as well.

I don't care much for the knowledge graph. Pricing-wise, I see it more like $5/m considering that a number of capturing solutions exist (Zotero, SingleFile, Save to Epub etc.).

Totally agree on the storage. Just added an export option. I was thinking about local storage that in terms of choosing an archive folder but not totally sure what would be intuitive e.g. if you added markup/comments/notes in platform then you might want that before saving (rather than at point of capture).

Yeah, I need to strike a balance with the hard costs. Appreciate the feedback! It's difficult to get something up and running at those numbers (those guys have scale) but hoping I can tailor towards any niche use-cases in the interim because the established players do not release features fast.
