Ugh this is the only read-it-later service I ever found that "stuck". It was so simple and good. This sucks.

I came from Instapaper after their price hike to Omnivore and went back to Instapaper. I felt that Omnivore was over-complicated with their "every folder is a filter" structure. Instapaper feels much more straightforward.

I did the same and will likely end up back with Instapaper. Omnivore’s export leaves a lot to be desired, though. Trying to find a script that will give me something usable to import.

Damn they're giving under 3 weeks to export before you lose all of your data? That's insane! If I were on an extended vacation and missed this, my data would be gone when I get back. They _really_ should increase that to be longer! Switch to read-only, but give at least 3-6 months to export. That's crazy otherwise

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Except on Android, where you couldn't even tag saved articles. I noticed development had stopped weeks ago. Sort of figured something like this was going to happen. Unfortunate, but I'll be happy on Wallabag again. I'd been just waiting for a push to do migrate back.

I seem to be able to tag articles, do you not have an "Edit Labels" option in the article menu? Regardless, they definitely were lagging on Android development, but it was still finished enough to use it. There's even a version that supports pagination: https://github.com/tent4kel/omnivore/releases/

When you're actually creating an entry via the share prompt there are no options at all unlike the browser extension (for Android at least)

So yeah, you can tag it.. if you exit your current app, find Omnivore in your launcher, open the app, find the entry you just made, then edit it, then add tags.. but that's a terrible UX.

Ah yeah, the share dialog is really basic, I ended up using Firefox and installing the full extension when I wanted to save pages (also allows you to save pages from places you're logged into)

After many years wasted on RIL apps, probably one of the best lifestyle changes I made was to adopt a "read it now or read it never" (RINORIN) approach[1].

I'm still very happy with RINORIN + archiving the interesting bits of what I read in the moment[2].

[1]: "If it's not immediately interesting enough for me to read when I see it, I just let it ago, trusting that if it's important enough, I'll be exposed to it again sooner or later, and at that point it'll be interesting enough for me to read it when I see it."

I use Raindrop[0] for all bookmarks and have flirted with Omnivore and Wallabag over the years. But I always come back to just using Raindrop and "Unsorted" for my read-it-laters. I've got a feed into Reeder from here which works well too. At the end of the day a likely next step after reading something is to want to bookmark it so this workflow works well for me.

I love one Raindrop’s feature where it lets you bookmark all the tabs in a window

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…

The internet is volatile and it has happened multiple times that a page I have saved to read later has disappeared.

Do you have any good recommendations for self hosted services that allow me to save a link and have an archived copy of the website saved to disk?

So far, I've tried Wallabag, Linkwarden and Archivebox but I feel like they don't quite work the way I want to.

What are you experiences with this?
