Depois do #Omnivore , mais uma lápide no cemitério dos #ReadItLater apps

"Por que o #Pocket está sendo desativado?

O Pocket ajudou milhões de pessoas a salvar artigos e descobrir histórias que valem a pena ser lidas. Mas a maneira como as pessoas salvam e consomem conteúdo na Web evoluiu".

Só faltou nos contarem para "quê" evoluiu...

Alternativas que recomendo:

#Raindrop

#ObsidianWebClipper

E, para quem tem Kindle ou Kobo:

#dotepub

#EpubPress

#Wallabag (é auto-hospedado e tem integração com o #KOReader )

Pocket will shut down July 8, 2025.

Which alternative to Pocket should I choose?
As @TechCrunch said few months ago, @wallabag « is a strong competitor with article-saving tools and features as good as what Pocket offers. »

> wallabag.it is powerful, private, hosted in Europe and affordable.

For several years my work flow has been to have feeds in Feedly and save articles to Pocket to read later.

With @mozilla killing Pocket, I'm wondering if @wallabag would actually serve as a replacement for both.

I'd be curious to hear any comments or experiences from folks. I'll be trying it out this week regardless, but I'd still love any tips given what my work flow has been.

Thank you so much for all your messages during this crazy period

Mozilla killing #pocket? No worries #opensource has you covered, of course! Check out #Wallabag and #Readeck to have an incredible #readitlater expericne with #offline options too. https://youtu.be/YibJQTLyils

Pocket is closing down and I'm one of the 12 people out there who loved the service and its integration with Kobo.

What's the next best alternative to save articles for offline reading on an e-reader? I've looked into Wallabag (don't mind self-hosting) but my test on two articles gave me a failure to retrieve content...

I'm considering Obsidian Web Clipper but don't know how I would go about syncing this with my Kobo.

Boost welcome!

After a week of trialing @wallabag, I decided to give it a proper go and purchased a one year subscription to the hosted version.

So far, I've been really satisfied and it's been a seamless switch in terms of workflow from Pocket to wallabag.

This is what I’ve been building for the last 10 weeks!

I'm really enjoying Wallabag! I just love how clean and neat this is. I’m hoping to use it for decades—especially as more and more websites vanish from the web!

Pocket is closing! Discover how managed Wallabag hosting is a great alternative.

Mozilla Pocket is shutting down. Time to migrate to Readeck:

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.

Als jahrelanger PowerUser von Pocket und als FanBoy von #Obsidian kann ich mit Nachdruck sagen: Ein Vergleich ist wie Äpfel mit Toastbrot - klar kann man beides essen. Als #Pocket-Ersatz funktioniert es leider nur, wenn man innerhalb eines Cloud-Universums bleibt oder nur ein Device hat und wenn man es als App installieren kann.
Ließe Obsidian z.B. auf iOS zu, die Dateien auf beliebige Netzwerke (NextCloud,…) zu speichern, sähe die Sache besser aus.

After some issues with cache, wallabag.it is up to date with the latest 2.6.x version (released few weeks ago).

Some bug fixes and some technical stuff https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/releases/tag/2.6.11 https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/releases/tag/2.6.12

Mozilla is shutting down its Pocket service:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/future-of-pocket

I'm looking for an alternative, preferably open source, possibly freemium (I used to pay for Pocket). Bill of requirements:
* browser extension, Firefox / Chrome
* Android application
* eReader (Kobo) would be great, but oh well...
* I don't care about the social part ("trending articles")

Any suggestion?

If you don't know what Pocket is, let's say it resemble a multi-client distributed bookmark service, with a striped down, unobtrusive reading mode:
