Only 3 matches of the word "local" in the README and they don't seem to refer to any self-hosting whatsoever.
What does this tool do exactly? Send URLs to remote services for them to do snapshots?
That README is a classic case of a filter bubble syndrome. People, it can't physically hurt you to add 1-2 sentences saying what exactly does your tool do!

- swyx 4y agobut it would be nice if they spent a bit of time documenting themselves a bit more, same as you would want from any coworker at a big company. this isnt just marketing its good developer hygiene .
- pdimitar 4y agoThey can do whatever they want, obviously. But since it's open source they're likely aiming for more developer mindshare. To have that they should make their message crystal clear.
