- people who are privileged enough to never have experienced multiple days without an internet connection.
it's a shame to see it go, it's been the first read-it-later service that I was aware of and used. I've moved away to Omnivore (RIP) and then Wallabag (https://wallabag.it/ for 11€/year, but you can self-host it or find someone else to host it for you for a lower fee), but I've still been thinking fondly of it, despite Mozilla clearly trying to force people into social reading rather than just serve as a convenient offline storage of articles.
edit: this post isn't a request for advice, I'm very happy with my current Wallabag setup.
Why would you need a saas solution if it's for offline reading? Seems like a contradiction
...so that you can read it on a device other than the one you've initially opened the link on? I can save a link to Wallabag from my laptop's browser at home, have my e-reader sync it, and then read it offline while on a train.
what OS does your ereader run? can it run syncthing? can it open HTML?
it's a jailbroken Paperwhite, so I could look into setting up a Syncthing KOReader plugin, but my current setup works perfectly fine for me.
oh, I realized you have been using wallabag nowadays. but syncthing, plus pages saved with the singlefile or the webscrapbook addon could work fine
Pocket always saved the page as both the regular website and a converted article view.
Obsidian with the readitlater plugin is good, and actually stored in a standard format entirely on your devices, so truly offline.
I have, and if you need an SaaS for that, I am sorry for you. Pocket was great for getting around paywalls for a while.
I have ended up using Zotero for this, which takes a snapshot of the webpage for offline reading (and preservation). Synced to other clients through my WebDAV server. Originally only used Zotero as a reference manager for academic journal papers, but liked using it more broadly.
I hear you. I discovered Omnivore and was in the process of migrating from Pocket to it until less than a year later Omnivore was gone.
Same. I’ve done pocket and omnivore but now both dead :(
if you happen to be an apple person Safari’s Reading List can save pages offline.
I've heard good things about karakeep (also requires self hosting) https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep
Check out LinkedIn for this
Edit: multiple days later... Linkwarden not linkedin....
How does all this compare with something like Goodlinks?
well, for starters I can't install Goodlinks on Linux, Android, or a jailbroken Kindle.
Gotcha
