While I was not looking Mozilla has killed Pocket (aka. "read later") without having sent me a notice and now my data is gone (not that I had a lot).
Since Pocket was one of the main reasons I bought a Kobo ebook reader this spring, I'm somewhat annoyed.
But Kobo replaced Pocket with Instapaper, where I apparently even have an account I have not used since 2012 :D

With Mozilla's #Pocket shutting down (articles are already unavailable, exports can be retrieved through 8 October 2025, see: https://web.archive.org/web/20250927204616/https://getpocket.com/home), I've exported the list of URLs I'd logged with the service.
One of my longstanding gripes was that there was no way for me to get a total of the articles I'd saved.
(There ... were other gripes.)
I now know: 30,735.
In an ideal world, this would have been a useful library of references. I'd tagged many of these (including, eventually, adopting a convention of tagging by archive date which Pocket surely must've known somewhere in its data schema, but petulantly hid from its users), through a loose but somewhat controlled vocabulary influenced in part by both my general interests and some familiarity with existing library ontologies, classifications, and subject headings.
I'm kicking around what to do with this archive. One question of course is how many of the links have since rotted (I suspect a high percentage). I've got a few leads on readability-rendering (including a bash script invoking JS ... somehow ... I've got to look at). Tracking down archived copies, and spinning up a media server, would also be handy.

Absolut schade, dass #Mozilla #pocket (#getpocket) einstellt. Seit gefühlt 10 Jahren eine meiner Lieblings-Apps. Vor allem die Offline-Nutzung war als Zug-Pendler immer ein großer Vorteil.
Jetzt teste ich mal #Raindrop. Auch um meine Apps etwas zu verringern bzw. zu konzentrieren.Eure Tipps?

Even after the Pocket's web app shutdown the GraphQL API and auth flow are still alive, so export your articles while you can! https://github.com/jnv/pocket-archive
The last date to export saves is October 8, I hope the API remains functional until then. -
I made a bun app to grab all data from Pocket, including full-text of articles, using Pocket's private GraphQL API: https://github.com/jnv/pocket-archive
There's still a week to go, so perhaps it'll help someone.

I hadn't logged into Pocket in a while, but discovered yesterday that they are shutting down. :( So today I set up a self-hosted instance of @linkwarden and migrated all of my links from Pocket. It all took less than an hour.

With Mozilla shutting down Pocket, folks are calling for open-sourcing it. There's this “pocket-monorepo” project which seems to contain the majority of server code? https://github.com/Pocket/pocket-monorepo
Some parts are missing, notably the parser, but I've found it useful for reverse engineering their GraphQL API, particularly the public API proxy.
Anyone can confirm what else is missing? -
Also, I probably won't be using Wallabag after all, since it does not support Firefox extension for Android, which is the main reason I want to have something to "read later". I can conveniently read on desktop, thank you very much.

Yeah, 3 days my ass. I clicked the link today to download and export has been already deleted. But they are not lying, they are just bunch of losers. #mozilla #firefox #pocket #getpocket

OK, I have installed a self-hosted Wallabag instance. The install documentation is severely lacking, specifically for shared-hosting. Not sure if this is intentional, so you buy their paid plans. No detailed info on configs etc., very sparse. But I got through it. I can confirm it works, the extension setup is weird as well. Let's see if I will keep using it.

@nikolasdi Thanks for the hint. I tried @readeck now as well and it is great. But I'm still missing the #singlefile integration or at least need to understand how to add it. For my common tasks I may stay with #linkding for now. I also use @obsidian clipper to store really important stuff I need for my active knowledge base and mark and modify the content as needed. #obsidian #pocket #getpocket #bookmark

On my search for a #getPocket replacement I found nocoDB. That's not a bookmarking service. But its a selfhosted AirTables clone. And it has a swagger API thingy build in. That could be handy to build all sorts of PWAs to push to my own data pool...

Wie das im Netzleben so ist, der nächste Dienst des eigenen Workflows wird abgewickelt. Nun ist es Pocket. Ab 08. Juli 2025 ist der Service inaktiv (Zeit für den Export), Anfang Oktober sind dann die Inhalte weg!
Für mich war #Pocket nicht essentiell aber praktisch, hat viele Jahre zuverlässig gearbeitet und vor allem nicht genervt – schade darum.
Im Sinne von #unplugTrump werde ich auf eine selbstgehostete Lösung umsteigen. -
Actually no. I will just migrate to Wallabag, since I have rooted my Kobo with custom firmware (KOReader+Plato) anyway. @wallabag

Goddammit !
Pocket the browser bookmarking service -that just happens to synch seamlessly with with Kobo devices - is being Discontinued by Mozilla.
The service will stop working in July of this year (2025) and users have until October to export any bookmarks before everything gets deleted.
Full details at this link.
This SUCKS.

Dang.
#Pocket is getting killed off.
I’ll need to figure out a new read-later situation.
I typically add stuff to Pocket throughout the day via whatever platform I’m on at the time (usually via the Pocket Firefox extension) and read it later via the Pocket app on my Android e-ink device.

Me: Pocket should up their game, the parser is very unreliable, search is borderline useless, I still can't add notes to highlights nor articles, text-to-speech often refuses to load. I guess I'm gonna switch to Readwise Read—
Pocket: YOU CAN NOW SELECT CUSTOM APP ICON. CHECK OUT THIS AMAZING PRIDE ICON!Pocket really is a lost cause, isn't it?

update: using Omnivore on their hosting. pretty good UX-wise.
Omnivore's only major weakness so far is that it doesn't understand Fedi: for a Mastodon post, it'll capture the Mastodon UI, not the post. (Open Graph tags do get saved as metadata and normally contain the entire text of the post, but you gotta go look for them, so it's only useful for search.)
haven't gotten around to importing my Pocket bookmarks yet.

I am currently building my own WIKI with #Notion
It will be the single source of truth for all links, pics, workshops, templates etc. for my beloved role as an #agile team coach aka #scrummasterFor this, I have to find all my bookmarks on #getpocket , LinkedIn - Mastodon - Twitter
Tips welcome!

Why on earth does #GetPocket now NOT render a reader view of some articles, with no override possible?
YOU HAD *ONE* JOB TO DO, POCKET! -
@valvin Yes, daily! I follow blogs, news, podcasts, and even YouTube channels via RSS. I'm mostly using #feedly , together with #getpocket, for reading later.

@mutkitta Thanks, I'm aware of Wallabag but after several earlier transitions (still not fully recovered-from) I'm leery of anything I don't fully control.
I'll also note that Pocket still haven't replied to my email sent over two months ago.
(I'm not sure if that's because their spam system is still refusing Protonmail, but that would be yet another strike against Pocket.)

I've considered migrating my personal home page for quite a while. I've wanted to build everything in #infraascode as a #portfolio too, and a fun exercise, but what implications could be from having that as #oss? (i.e #pulumi state etc)
The idea is I can then easily spin up #microservices (i.e. I'd like to visualize a list of the articles I've been reading on #getpocket or the books I am currently reading via either #goodreads or #Bookwrym). Having it in #iac would make it somewhat trivial.
-
Are there any #opensource #getpocket alternatives that I should try?
If you don't know any, please boost! :boost_requested:

@Tutanota Firefox <-> Privacy? LOL.
Going to stick this in #getpocket -
I'll also note that on APK Mirror, v. 8.1.1.0 has more downloads than any release of Pocket dating back to 7.64.1.0, in September of 2022.
Which would suggest some possible level of agreement that it is in fact preferable to other releases.

OK, this is getting fucking ridiculous.
I've installed and reverted three versions of Pocket so far trying to find one that performs with a tolerable level of annoyance. This is hours spent managing a fucking application's brokenness instead of being able to read and research.
Hint: It's not 8.5, 8.3, or 8.2. Currently trying 8.1, from February, though I swear I'd updated since then (I usually check for updates on apps weekly). I'll update parent when I find it.
OK: 8.1.1.0 seems to revert both behaviours. That's the 17 February 2023 release here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/mozilla-corporation/pocket/pocket-8-1-0-0-release/
Meanwhile ... the Google Play reviews discussion is illuminating, and the natives are not happy as of April, 2023:
