What you give up either way
- Native macOS menu-bar integration / dedicated macOS app
- Polished UI/UX and commercial polish (branding, onboarding flows)

- Priority/paid support and a commercial warranty
- One-click lifetime license purchase flow and built-in payment handling
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Shiori - Bookmarks Manager, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
