I Built HamHome Because My Bookmarks Became a Graveyard

#webdev #extensions #tooling #ai

I used to bookmark everything.

Articles I wanted to revisit. Docs I might need later. Tools I planned to test.

Then one day I realized I had hundreds of bookmarks and could barely find anything useful.
It stopped being a knowledge system and became digital clutter.

So I built HamHome.

HamHome is a browser extension for people who save a lot, but still want to find things fast.

What HamHome does

Save in one click while browsing.
AI-assisted organization: cleaner titles, summaries, tags, and category suggestions.
Natural-language retrieval:
- "What did I save about React performance?"
- "Find that pricing article I saved last month."
Answer with sources, so you can jump back to original links.
Import existing bookmarks from your browser.
Choose your structure: keep folders, or let AI reorganize.

Privacy was not optional

I did not want a tool that silently sends browsing history to random services.

HamHome is built around local-first storage and explicit AI boundaries.
You control what gets analyzed and when.

Why this may be useful

If your current workflow is "save now, never find again", HamHome gives you:

Faster capture
Better structure with less manual cleanup
Practical retrieval when you actually need the information
