What you give up vs Instapaper
- AI tagging requires Ollama or an OpenAI-compatible API; adds resource overhead
- RSS reader features are basic compared to dedicated feed readers like Miniflux
- Relatively young project; some rough edges in mobile app stability
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Cubox (Hoarder) on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Instapaper: premium fees and uncertain longevity).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (AGPL-3.0).
