As a paid product, has anyone used Raindrop as well and have opinions/comparisons? And on the self hosted side, vs Hoarder?
I’ve been considering switching from Raindrop to a self hosted option, but while I like self hosting I’m also leaning towards just paying someone to handle this particular service for me.
I used to use raindrop however found it a bit bloated with features I never use, I've switched to selfhosting linkding: https://linkding.link and enjoy the much more minimal experience
I've never heard of raindrop and it looks cool but I see the .ru in one of their screenshots -- are they based in Russia? Any concerns with doing business with a Russian company, in the context of sanctions etc.?

"I'm founder of Raindrop.io. I'd like to clarify information about the origin of myself and the project. While I did live in Russia for a long time and initially started Raindrop there, I relocated to my motherland, Kazakhstan, shortly after the war began. I also moved all financial and business matters there.
I am no longer associated with Russia in any way. It would be great if this information could be added to the article."
