In May, when Mozilla announced the shutdown of Pocket, I wrote a post about what I wanted from such service and shared my research into a few options.

I ended up choosing @wallabag and I've been really happy with my choice. It found its place as a perfect drop-in replacement for my workflow and I didn't miss a beat during the migration.

What do you use to save and organize bookmarks and other internet finds? It doesn’t necessarily have to be the same tool for articles/read it later and other types of links, I’m interested in both.

I would really like something that saves pages/articles offline, so that I can still read it even if the original link may no longer exist. A good integration in iOS would also be great, and preferably without AI (or possible to switch off) and FOSS and so on.

For articles I have used Pocket, Readwise Reader (good but too expensive), omnivore (was bought) in the past and am currently searching for an alternative.

For other links I’ve used the bookmark function in the browser (impractical for me and not offline), MyMind (good but too expensive and too much AI), and currently I’m trying Obsidian. Unfortunately, the Web Clipper on iOS does not work the way I would like and the use is quite cumbersome (if anyone can point me to tutorials or has advice I’d be happy to hear it)

Was nutzt ihr, um Lesezeichen und sonstige schöne Internet-Fundstücke zu speichern und organisieren? Es muss nicht unbedingt das gleiche Tool für Artikel/ReadItLater und andere Arten von Links sein, mich interessiert beides.

Ich hätte super gerne was, was Seiten/Artikel auch offline abspeichert, damit ich noch nachlesen kann auch wenn der originale Link vielleicht nicht mehr existiert. Eine gute Integration in iOS wäre auch super, und am liebsten ohne/abschaltbare AI und FOSS und so.

Für Artikel habe ich Pocket, Readwise Reader (gut aber zu teuer), omnivore (wurde aufgekauft) genutzt und bin gerade am suchen.
Für andere Links die Lesezeichen-Funktion im Browser (unpraktisch und nicht offline), MyMind (gut aber zu teuer und zu viel AI), und jetzt probiere ich gerade Obsidian. Leider funktioniert der Web Clipper auf iOS nicht so wie ich möchte und die Nutzung ist recht umständlich

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 )

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.

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.
