What you give up vs Raindrop.io
- No multi-user support; designed as a single-user personal tool
- Web UI is minimal with no rich text or annotation capabilities
- No browser extension for one-click saving; relies on CLI or bookmarklet
- No RSS feed subscription or reader functionality
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Shiori on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Raindrop.io: pro subscription for full-text search and backups).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
