  • That's on my list! I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Right now, the idea is to compare the features against Pocket, at least to start. Would you want to compare any 2 options?

  • I've made some updates. There are many perspectives to view a guide like this. I hope there are some improvements to the self-hosting perspective. https://getoffpocket.com/

  • I'll think about that. It's to the right on desktop, but it's not quite as nice on mobile, is it.

  • You can certainly do that, but read-it-later apps offer offline reading and other features that many people enjoy. It could be worth a second look, but if you have something that works for you, that's great

  • Certainly RSS adjacent! Definitely different purposes, as you've described. Wallabag and FreshRSS are a nice combination.

    Omnivore is still around as an open source project. There's no official hosting. That may need to be represented better.

    As far as I know Pocket is completely shutting down. It would be big news if it isn't. I heard some things about someone buying it, but the Pocket website hasn't been updated in a couple weeks since I heard that first.

    It's a good point about Pocket being listed. There are some plans to make it easier to compare alternatives to Pocket and that's why it's there. A bit of a partially finished thought right now, given that I pulled that out of what was released. I'll look at hiding it.

  • It takes a lot of effort to make something like this. I appreciate any support people are willing to provide so I can continue improving it.

  • Thank you to everyone who commented! I'm digesting all of what has been said and will be adjusting the guide as I can. If you're able, donations are welcome! (See link on the site)

  • Good question! I know Wallabag has some eReader integrations through KOReader. People on Kobo devices seem to like it especially. There may be other options too. I'll look at this some more! I'd appreciate anyone sharing details that they know too.

  • Do you actually audit open source projects you download?

    Jump

  • I do sometimes, when I know the tech stack. (I wonder if GitHub Copilot could help in other situations?)

    For example, I've been learning more about FreshRSS and Wallabag (especially now that Pocket is shutting down).

    In any case, with open source, I trust that someone looks at it.
