With new bookmark managers for some reason they're usually a website, and no matter how good the design choices are, I just won't use it. Not because it's not amazing, but because not integrating it into the browser makes my life more difficult. Not a critique of your product, just an opinion.

My simple solution for this is that you can just use bookmarklet I think. https://readclip.ahmadrosid.com/#how-to

That improves only the storing part of the UI, not the accessing data part. And you can still not define keyboard shortcuts.

Will the source be available for self-hosting?

What do you think about turning it into a chrome extension?

How does it / will differentiate from already existing products?

Yeah, I was planning to create the chrome extension, for now the simplest way to bookmark a links is to use bookmarklet.

I think the difference with other product is that this product is focusing on reading the content, so for example if I want to read a news and there are a lot of ads we can get rid of it, and we no longer need to visit that website directly you can read it in readclip.
