  1. @jacobscharmberg SP305590 from www.subtel.de ; they delivered reasonably fast in Germany. Also happy to see #instapaper replaced #pocket functionality in Kobos. There's also the #koreader functionality I haven't installed yet.

  2. I need to make a "Save to and also at the same time to " button 🦘

  3. Found out today that #Raindrop is adding an #LLM from #OpenAI that can read your bookmarks :/

    As a result, I'll probably be migrating off of it and onto something else (maybe #Instapaper ?)

    Until then, I found you can turn off the AI under Settings -> App -> Ask AI

  4. Well. Weeks/months after the total shutdown of #pocket, and migrating to other services, I notice that I don't consume my reading list anymore.

    I've switched to #raindrop but it's not a read later tool. #instapaper could be, but apart from Kobo integration, it's not super usable tbh.

    Part of this is me missing my own #inmypocket addon, but also imperfect alternatives. Not sure what I'll do next. Reboot the addon? Start yet another service? Contribute to open-source and self-host? 🤷‍♂️

  5. Wondering where to take refuge now — go back to #Instapaper or try out #Matter and #ReadwiseReader? 🤔

    Any other suggestions for apps that work across #iOS and desktop?

    Ugh! This is like #Zite and #GoogleReader all over again. 😰

  9. I'm once again looking for a read-it-later/article archive tool. I think I've tried them all by now and I'm amazed that for such a basic task there's no good solution. I think my demands are very reasonable:

    – article content extraction (not just bookmarks) and comfortable reader
    – full text search over the entire archive
    – website and Android app with synchronization between them
    – not a whole lot of random unrelated features like todo lists or whatever thrown in for no reason

    I was using Pocket for many years and even paid for the "premium" (which basically got me a few extra fonts because the "premium" features like tag suggestions didn't work), however Pocket got worse and worse at article extraction, to the point where it just opened to website instead of showing the extracted text for more than half of the saved articles. Also no one seems to actively work on it it seems. Pretty much the same problems with Instapaper. I tried Feedly and Inoreader which kinda works I guess but they're primarily RSS readers, which I don't need. raindrop.io does extract article texts but shows them only in the Android app, in a browser it'll still open the website, also the full text search doesn't work reliability. Then there's Wallabag but that seems very Alpha and I don't want to host the service myself. Tried a bunch more which I can't remember right now.

    As a temporary solution I'm now saving articles to @notesnook since I'm using that for notes anyway. Article extraction works alright but there's no way to archive notes, so it's all cluttered with articles now and I can barely find my own notes anymore.

    If anyone knows of a tool that reliably does all the things mentioned above, please let me know!

  11. I am a paid user of #Instapaper and just remembered I can forward emails into that, so perhaps for #SubstackNewsletter #blogs I can build a workflow with there.

    Apparently #Feedly would charge me for that.
