Also a previous user of waldenpress - it was amazing to have the pocket backlog made so tangible. Now that pocket is packing up, it'll make it even more difficult for WP to re-start.
I built something quite like this with epubs for another read it later service. There are lots of them!

Well, there aren't any dupes. :-) But thanks.
Weren't you saying you had a submission that was a dupe (a different post about the same news) of this one?
RE: Fakespot, this one really really hurts. Even if the ratings weren't accurate sometimes, it helped guide me in the direction of finding and distinguishing bad/fake products from good (or good enough). I always wondered what their business model was... Sad to see that their competitor Reviemeta also died out. Is there no hope for an alternative to these? Any thoughts on making a service like Fakespot and having it be profitable or at least self-sustaining? I can only think of a subscription service for having curated reviews, maybe prioritizing reviews from susbscribers...

anyone have any good suggestions for a self-hosted option?
I use linkding https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding Have been hosting it for years, there’s a browser extension and a phone app by a third party developer as well.

Obsidian is phenomenal. I only wish it were open source so I could self-host it. Sometimes I worry that they'd sell my notes data to advertisers.
Obsidian cannot access your notes even if you use the Sync service (it's end-to-end encrypted)

> Apple will happily let Webkit languish as much as possible to drive people to apps. Doesn't make any sense: why would Apple allow an app that's on 2+ billion devices to languish ? There's no evidence of WebKit languishing. If anything, the WebKit team has shipped important web platform features more quickly than it ever has before. WebKit is arguably the most important framework for the App Store; many thousands of…
> Doesn't make any sense: why would Apple allow an app that's on 2+ billion devices to languish? Because they can make more money on apps. Like I said in the parent comment you're choosing to ignore. > There's no evidence of WebKit languishing. It's pretty well-documented that Safari has been a laggard when it comes to web standards, cherry-picked links aside.
A few years ago, Safari being behind was a persistent narrative, which started because Safari didn’t support Chrome’s (often) nonstandard features.
These days, any important web features arrive simultaneously on Safari and Chrome (like CSS Grid) or within a month or two of each other… although it took 5 months for Chrome to ship :has in 2022.

I wrote this Deno script to convert the Pocket CSV export to a Bookmark HTML-file so that it can be imported to Linkding: https://github.com/enjikaka/pocket-to-bookmark
I'm of course happy to take it down if you do mind, just let me know. And thank you again!

I was a user for so long I used to call this app instapaper.
Apologies if I'm missing a joke, but Pocket used to be called "ReadItLater". Instapaper still exists and I imagine they're about to get an influx of Pocket refugees.
Del.icio.us was just bookmarks, no reader for the phone.
