A good one IMHO is Omnivore.
Omnivore is a complete, open source read-it-later solution for people who love to read.
Strange how it isn't on f-droid... I've come to expect all open-source apps to be on there, probably naively.
I use omnivore for longer articles and highlighting parts of the text. It also have a plugin to sync with obsidian. It's really good, but I imagine self-hosting it can be tricky.
For a link-dump, I use Shiori. Could be anything vaguely interesting but I want to take a look later - works wonders for that.
And I have been a former pocket user, wallabag... But I stick with omnivore and Shiori.
No, I've never really understood the point. I have bookmarks in my browser if I want to save something for later. I don't really need anything more fancy than that.
Came here to say the exact same thing. People really do love to reinvent browser bookmarks.
Yes I use pocket and am fairly satisfied.
Why do I use it? Well, I have been using it for about 6 years, was the first thing to work fine in my mobile, don't want to install another extension in ff, hate bookmark handling by ff (at least in mobile), and want to push myself in reading.
Although I nowadays see too much american articles in pocket to be relevant for me.
Safari read later. Wish there was a good lookin open source option
I copy the URL and paste it into the readme.md in the root of my nextcloud account. I'll find it again in 6 months or more and finally read it
Neither, especially with Pocket. There's something about an add-on integrated into a browser that makes me worry about privacy. I hate how pocket is bundled in Firefox and take great pleasure in disabling it in the browser's config file. If it was something that could be downloaded on your own I might have had a different opinion about it. I just make a bookmark folder for articles I want to read later. It takes a few extra seconds to store and access but I think it's worth it.
I tried it. I tried just opening lots of tabs. I tried grouping tabs. Open tabs strewn across 3+ devices, "to read later", until eventually some months later I just give up and close them, having lost interest or simply seeing a need to close some of the overflowing tabs.
My only solution to this problem - as BAD as ChatGPT is and as much as we hate it - feed the thing I'll want to "read later" straight into ChatGPT RIGHT THEN, and just read a summary of it.
I've been doing this for a couple weeks now and so far, so good.
I use pocket app to save online recipes I like for later use. It is searchable and a separate list than my bookmarks which I like.
I have a Firefox plugin called Tranquility Reader, which basically strips out all the ads and bullshit and gives you the article as just plain text on a white background. It also has the option to save the page as a pdf, so if I want to read something later I just do that.
