Nachdem ich heute die News in #feedly verfolgt habe, denke ich mir - geht's noch?
Die Headlines feiern zwei ältere Männer, die sich bei einem "Gespräch" (Gesprächsanteil 10:90) NICHT an die Gurgel gegangen sind, sondern versucht haben die Regeln der Kommunikation einzuhalten.
Wo sind wir hingekommen, liebe Vertreter der #medien, dass das eine Nachricht wert ist, die den #Newsfeed SO dominieren

And while I’m on it: I now ditched #feedly and replaced it with a #selfhosted #miniflux.

I had used Feedly since Google Reader was discontinued in 2013 and always liked it, never got ugly on me. But still I want to remove services where good (or better) alternatives exist.

Miniflux can provide a Google-Reader-API so that tools like my #reeder-app can connect in a very good fashion.

#rss is not dead! More: see miniflux.app

So, Fedi distributed brain, what are people settling on for Pocket replacements?

I've put my self in an awkward position, but one that's been very smooth for me for several years. I use Feedly to scroll RSS feeds, and *had* perfect integration to save things to Pocket.

I'm going to have to look both at RSS aggregators and "read it later" apps to see where I want to go, but definitely a self-hosted FLOSS solution.

When Google Reader went away aeons ago, I bought a lifetime license of #feedly to keep consuming my #rss feeds. But yesterday I pulled the plug and moved to a #selfhosted #freshrss (and lire on iOS) and holy moly - this is so much more advanced than feedly. Just the fact that I can have a newsfeed of pages that don't have a rss feed (as long as the website delivers server-rendered html) is awesome! Same for full feed content, all the filters and so on. byeeeeeee feedly.

I'm once again looking for a read-it-later/article archive tool. I think I've tried them all by now and I'm amazed that for such a basic task there's no good solution. I think my demands are very reasonable:

– article content extraction (not just bookmarks) and comfortable reader
– full text search over the entire archive
– website and Android app with synchronization between them
– not a whole lot of random unrelated features like todo lists or whatever thrown in for no reason

I was using Pocket for many years and even paid for the "premium" (which basically got me a few extra fonts because the "premium" features like tag suggestions didn't work), however Pocket got worse and worse at article extraction, to the point where it just opened to website instead of showing the extracted text for more than half of the saved articles. Also no one seems to actively work on it it seems. Pretty much the same problems with Instapaper. I tried Feedly and Inoreader which kinda works I guess but they're primarily RSS readers, which I don't need. raindrop.io does extract article texts but shows them only in the Android app, in a browser it'll still open the website, also the full text search doesn't work reliability. Then there's Wallabag but that seems very Alpha and I don't want to host the service myself. Tried a bunch more which I can't remember right now.

As a temporary solution I'm now saving articles to @notesnook since I'm using that for notes anyway. Article extraction works alright but there's no way to archive notes, so it's all cluttered with articles now and I can barely find my own notes anymore.

If anyone knows of a tool that reliably does all the things mentioned above, please let me know!
