I'm self hosting Readeck ( https://readeck.org/en/ ) and I really like it. It's nicer than Pocket was, the website extraction seems to work better, and it can't ever be shut down. For my Kobo, I wrote a mod that lets me redirect Pocket API requests, and a small proxy server that translates Pocket API calls into Readeck calls. So far it's working flawlessly and my Kobo is using its built in Pocket viewer for Readeck i…

Self-hosting options are invaluable because it is the only way you truly own all your data.

I’m using Linkwarden, it’s running on my TrueNAS and I connect their iOS app via Tailscale. Pure joy to use.

Edit to add Links: https://linkwarden.app for the self-hostable app and https://apps.apple.com/de/app/my-links-for-linkwarden/id6504... for the mobile app

Hey, this is Pao, the guy building https://fika.bar . Fika is a place to save, discover and share content built upon 3 products: - A local-first bookmark manager (Works 100% offline) - A feed reader: With feed discovery from your bookmarks. - A blog/newsletter platform The only thing it currently does not have is e-reader integration yet. But you get the other 2 products bundled together which make a lot of sense.

I was very interested in this project, but I can't login using Einkbro on my e-reader. Otherwise it seems perfect.

I’m an Apple user and switched to GoodLinks at first but later migrated to AnyBox because the latter one can create PDF and WebArchive snapshots of the webpages.

I also use AnyBox & thoroughly enjoy it. I like that it runs on my devices & isn't tied to a service that might change or decline (like Pinboard), plus the features are excellent.

I’ve been working on my own Pocket replacement for the past few months. I was the head of product at Pocket in 2018/19, and ever since I left, I’ve had this itch to build my own version. Mozilla shutting it down finally gave me the excuse I needed. https://savewithfolio.com/ Folio lets you save articles from anywhere, has a lovely reading view, lets you listen to articles with some really nice text-to-speech voices,…
