In May, when Mozilla announced the shutdown of Pocket, I wrote a post about what I wanted from such service and shared my research into a few options.
I ended up choosing @wallabag and I've been really happy with my choice. It found its place as a perfect drop-in replacement for my workflow and I didn't miss a beat during the migration.
Je suis à la recherche d’un service #ReadItLater. Après Pocket, Instapaper et Raindrop, je n’arrive pas à être satisfait. Des conseils ? Suggestions ? Merci !
What do you use to save and organize bookmarks and other internet finds? It doesn’t necessarily have to be the same tool for articles/read it later and other types of links, I’m interested in both.
I would really like something that saves pages/articles offline, so that I can still read it even if the original link may no longer exist. A good integration in iOS would also be great, and preferably without AI (or possible to switch off) and FOSS and so on.
For articles I have used Pocket, Readwise Reader (good but too expensive), omnivore (was bought) in the past and am currently searching for an alternative.
For other links I’ve used the bookmark function in the browser (impractical for me and not offline), MyMind (good but too expensive and too much AI), and currently I’m trying Obsidian. Unfortunately, the Web Clipper on iOS does not work the way I would like and the use is quite cumbersome (if anyone can point me to tutorials or has advice I’d be happy to hear it)
Was nutzt ihr, um Lesezeichen und sonstige schöne Internet-Fundstücke zu speichern und organisieren? Es muss nicht unbedingt das gleiche Tool für Artikel/ReadItLater und andere Arten von Links sein, mich interessiert beides.
Ich hätte super gerne was, was Seiten/Artikel auch offline abspeichert, damit ich noch nachlesen kann auch wenn der originale Link vielleicht nicht mehr existiert. Eine gute Integration in iOS wäre auch super, und am liebsten ohne/abschaltbare AI und FOSS und so.
Für Artikel habe ich Pocket, Readwise Reader (gut aber zu teuer), omnivore (wurde aufgekauft) genutzt und bin gerade am suchen.
Für andere Links die Lesezeichen-Funktion im Browser (unpraktisch und nicht offline), MyMind (gut aber zu teuer und zu viel AI), und jetzt probiere ich gerade Obsidian. Leider funktioniert der Web Clipper auf iOS nicht so wie ich möchte und die Nutzung ist recht umständlich

Which alternative to Pocket should I choose?
As @TechCrunch said few months ago, @wallabag « is a strong competitor with article-saving tools and features as good as what Pocket offers. »

> wallabag.it is powerful, private, hosted in Europe and affordable.

For several years my work flow has been to have feeds in Feedly and save articles to Pocket to read later.
With @mozilla killing Pocket, I'm wondering if @wallabag would actually serve as a replacement for both.
I'd be curious to hear any comments or experiences from folks. I'll be trying it out this week regardless, but I'd still love any tips given what my work flow has been.

Thank you so much for all your messages during this crazy period 
Mozilla killing #pocket? No worries #opensource has you covered, of course! Check out #Wallabag and #Readeck to have an incredible #readitlater expericne with #offline options too. https://youtu.be/YibJQTLyils
After a week of trialing @wallabag, I decided to give it a proper go and purchased a one year subscription to the hosted version.
So far, I've been really satisfied and it's been a seamless switch in terms of workflow from Pocket to wallabag.
After some issues with cache, wallabag.it is up to date with the latest 2.6.x version (released few weeks ago).
Some bug fixes and some technical stuff https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/releases/tag/2.6.11 https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/releases/tag/2.6.12
For those who wallabag.it told you that your CSV was KO, it's fixed.
Web browsers don't handle mimetypes in the same way...
It's fixed thanks to this pull request https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/pull/8036
Quick look on our analytics (generated from http log, displayed with Matomo).
First screenshot is about app.wallabag.it
Second screenshot is about wallabag.it
Our servers are OK, thank you so much to my great sys admin @framasky!
Je viens d'importer tous mes liens sauvegardés sous #pocket dans @wallabag. En utilisant l'import CSV, cela marche parfaitement! Il faut juste être patient.e , on ne voit pas de barre de progression mais ça peut prendre du temps, pour moi cela a pris une heure pour un millier d'article...
J'ai un peu de ménage à faire (les étiquettes sont importées, mais tous mes liens n'étaient pas étiquetés).
Je continue mon essai, et si cela est concluant (il n'y a pas de raison), je pense prendre un abonnement a l'instance wallabag.it.

Last week, Mozilla announced their plans to shut down Pocket.
I spent the weekend exploring alternatives to see which ones match my needs and wrote about what I found in my blog.
A lot of options! And while not all met my needs, they may be good options for you.
