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!

It also stores locally. One of the last bullet points is

> Supports storing archived files to disk for offline use

Ah, I see it now, thanks. IMO it should be put front and center and be at the start of the project's description.

I would not complain about a free open source tool because they don’t do a good job of marketing it.

but 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 .

They 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.
