I myself use RSS reader / bookmark manager that I wrote [1]. Everything is open source. Even data [2] [3].

Super bummed about this. I know a surprising number of high profile CEOs and founders who live by Pocket, really has just been quietly reliable and simple way to reserve content for later. Despite there being so many other $apps that can fill the gap here, none of them seem to be as clean and straightforward as Pocket has been for me. Anyone here paying for Matter or Readwise? I know Instapaper may seem to be the obv…
Well, crap. I've had a Pocket account for more than ten years. It's a key feature on my Kobo devices, to boot. I hope Kobo manages to find some alternative provider for similar functionality, rather than just dropping it altogether. EDIT: Oh, and worth noting that this product will officially die before Mozilla fulfills its promise to open source it, back when they acquired Pocket. Thanks, guys.
I use KOReader [1] on my Kobo. It supports Wallabag [2]. Wallabag offers both hosted [3] and self-hosted options. There's also a standalone kobo client for Wallabag [4]. In addition, Wallabag also supports direct import from Pocket. [1] https://koreader.rocks/ [2] https://wallabag.org/ [3] https://www.wallabag.it/en [4] https://gitlab.com/anarcat/wallabako
I had submitted the Mozilla blog post about this and Fakespot ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44063930 ) but this submission seems to have received the traction. I added a comment to my submission pointing here.
Email the mods about this and they can cleanup and merge the dupes.

They should at least allow to download their copy of the saved articles, PDF or HTML or whatever format they save it in. This is such a betrayal. Some old links might not exist anymore, so it's useless to only get the links. EDIT: Betrayal, because the main reason I paid for Pocket was the archiving of articles and now I can't actually export the archived copies. Their decision of not enabling export of the archived…
Kobo (ereader) + Pocket was always just an amazing and low friction combo. This blows.
My first thought as well. I wonder what Kobo will do in response to this announcement.
I've been using IFTTT with RSS feeds to add serialized stories to my Kobo as they release.
Saving links and offline reading is dime a dozen nowadays, but the one BIG feature was recommended articles, which basically opened the reading list of the world and you could read extremely interesting longform articles based on your list. It was the best magazine you could imagine. But I guess it required maintenance and moderation so they axed it - in the typical fashion of an acquired product I might say. I still…

> the one BIG feature was recommended articles The TWO BIG features were recommended articles and integration with IFTTT. I think, of the suggested alternatives, only Instapaper has IFTTT integration (modulo setting up a local webhook). Given I have multiple things per day (and have for 10+ years) going into Pocket, this is going to be a big pain in the arse to deal with.
> Your export file will include links (URLs) of your saved items. The export does not extract the text of saved links. Additionally, the export does not contain tags or highlights. boo! without the tags, the links will be mostly useless for me. Every now and then I thought aboyt switching to some self-hosted solution. Should've done it sooner... and I will never trust Mozilla with any service again.
anyone have any good suggestions for a self-hosted option?
