I was already wondering why development on Omnivore was halted…

This isn’t good news at all for Omnivore users. It made me legitimately consider switching away from my self-hosted Wallabag instance because everything looked so sleek and promising; in terms of read-it-later apps, it really held the promise of the big next thing (as far as that can apply to such a “simple” category).

I’m not sure if articles read aloud is the thing that Omnivore users are looking for, per se. Ah well, they’ll know why they did it…

On a side note:

> All Omnivore users will be able to export their information from the service through November 15 2024, after which all information will be deleted.

Just me or is that extremely short notice? That’s in 2 weeks…

It is not just you.

Too bad... I also really liked it and used. Seems like I go for wallabag again. Maybe it will be possible to selfhost omnivore at some point in time ?!

It already has a self-hosting option: https://github.com/omnivore-app/omnivore/tree/main/self-host...

It's just not documented well.

tl;dr: They got acqui-hired and are shutting the app and service down.

Ugh, it was so good!

Self-hosting it seems quite complicated, though. I really hope somebody will step up and offer a hosted version of it.

It's not a great self-hosting option, tbh, depends on a lot of Google services and the support for it in the apps can be finicky.
