#122I moved from Pocket to DEVONthink a few years ago. It can save proper web archives and have quite a few sync options. It’s a little unconventional use for Dr but I love the experience.

Great! Is there an export feature? I'd like to read articles on my e-reader, ideally as epub.
Not yet, but it's high on the list! Which e-reader do you use?

We don't have a public API yet. When things stabilize, we definitely will!

Thanks! I use a PocketBook.
Even a markdown export with images would be nice, but epub would be great.
