I hated Pocket too. I already used RSS reader, so, I ended up building https://reading.ashishb.net that creates an RSS feed of articles you add. And yeah, it has a readable mode turned on by default.

How do you handle your text/feature extraction?

Would be nice to have a tool that grabs a readable version of an article/link and lets you dump it into your favorite knowledge management tool (Roam, Obsidian, mem, …). Any recommendations for such a tool?

Trilium[0] has a web clipper

A more universal solution would be useful though

I use 'w3m -dump' to keep articles in a directory in my memex.

Great one. Planning to write one such for my own service that I built - https://closetab.email (delivers a weekly digest of bookmarks to my inbox, every monday morning) Because the biggest problem with bookmarking is forgetting it forever after ;)

+1 on that, I need someone to remind me to read though the articles I've bookmarked in the past.
