The average web page is around 2MB, 60% of which is images [1]. Base64 encoding makes the size even larger. Would that compromise on higher disk usage make sense for you? I like both the OCR and DL ideas. Shameless plug, I've been working on a bookmarking service (https://github.com/crestify/crestify), and local archiving with images is something we're looking at add. Since it is something a lot of people seem to want, contributors are welcome :).

The system I propose would be for sure space-consuming. Removing the ads and other unneeded contents would probably help to shrink down the page size though. This is the price to pay to keep the bookmarked content available in the long-term, and I'm ready to pay this "price".

Assuming 1 bookmark per day during 10 years, this will sum up around 8 Go. Storage is cheep enough nowadays so I can support these 8 Go over 10 years. This will probably not be mobile-friendly, but I'm almost never consulting bookmarks from my phone anyway.

Your project seems interesting, thanks for sharing! This may be especially useful to see how you implemented the readability part.

According to this post[1], Pinboard had 26M new bookmarks in 1 year (15-16), between 24.5K users, which is close to ~1100 bookmarks per user per year, 3 per day. ~22GB for 10 years. Compression and other optimizations could reduce that further.

Crestify is a web application, so you could run it on a server and access it over a mobile app. Really happy to hear you like it. And I'm always open to new ideas about it :).

I meant bookmarks to pictures. Like infographics or memes

Oh, I'm not bookmarking such kind of content usually. I guess in any case a system that check the type of content (html/image/sound/video) will be needed to select the storage format, so the annotation may then also be adapted to the content type. In any case a way to manually add tag would exist so it's feasible to add such content.
