Wow. I’ve been self hosting wallabag for articles and Nextcloud News for RSS. But I see Omnivore does both in one app and looks more polished! I’m going to try it.
Not for me as its not vegan /s
Linkwarden then
That’s what I want.
The link sending is a bit convoluted, but once you figure it out it is a beautiful app.
Yes, I’m a big fan and very happy with Omnivore as a Pocket replacement. I also built a little browser extension to mimic the practical popup of “In My Pocket”, but based on Omnivore, since I was missing that particular functionality. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/omnivore-list-popup/
Really cool, would you ever consider contributing to their extension and adding that feature to theirs?
Good question! I suppose the two extensions have very different main ideas/approaches, so maybe merging them isn’t so ideal or feasible. And to be honest, I also enjoy the freedom of having my own project!
Oof, what a bad name
I imagine “it eats everything”? But its a bit weird and maybe politically influenced a bit
How does politics tie in?
I use this on edge and I was going to switch to Firefox but the extension has been removed from the store.
It seems there was an issue with some of the things needed for the extension to be on the store, they already sent the fix to Mozilla and are waiting for them to response, this happened on Friday so most likely they will reply this week.
Thanks for the update!
I’ve been using wallabag for that, but this looks much more polished at first glance. I hope they improve their self-hosting support
I used and paid for wallabag, but it lacks so many basic features it was a pain to use. Just trying to tag articles was a chore, since wallabag doesn’t suggest existing tags.
Me too, but this looks like a good replacement. The docker setup of wallabag also was a bit of a pain for me, but this looks pretty straightforward and doesn’t need redis, S3 API and a bunch of other plumbing. Will give it a try later.
I’ve been paying for wallabag for years but am slowly getting frustrated with the lack of updates to the UI. The Android app hasn’t been updated in ages, and the web UI is clunky and misses features. You can’t even change the font, for example. Omnivore wins there on all counts.
OTOH, Omnivore can’t properly handle multi-page articles.
The only thing this project needs is good self-hosting support. It’s currently an absolute nightmare. Have tried it 2-3 times with absolutely no luck.
Issues for this have been open for over 3 years and there’s been absolutely no progress.
Really good app. Hopefully when they introduce their premium pricing it doesn’t start to enshittify. I’m hoping it’s not another case of taking advantage of the open source community
Well, suppossedly what they would offer doesn’t seem to change things much:
Future Pricing Plans
We have a few product ideas we have experimented with that would be paid add-ons to the current service: collaborative tools, AI integration, translation tools, and premium text to speech voices. Of these features, the premium text to speech voices are the only one that are currently available in the app, as part of our “ultra realistic voices” beta.
This is what pocket would like to be when it grows up.
