#raindropio — Public Fediverse posts

What browser extensions are everyone using on the daily?

It's been a while since I even paid attention to mine - right now the three active extensions I'm using are #RaindropIO, #PrivacyBadger, and #1Password.

No, raindrop.io, I don't want to meet Stella right now, and I don't want to "Learn more", either. I'd just like to be able to have all of my screen available for using your app, but apparently that's too much to ask for. :(

Why does every company that decides to introduce chatbots have to force them upon us in a way which makes their product unusable?

Newborn Chicks Connect Sounds With Shapes Just Like Humans, Study Finds
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Scientific American: Why does "bouba" sound round and "kiki" sound spiky? This intuition that ties certain sounds to shapes is oddly reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theor...

@virtuous_sloth My setup involves a fairly over complex graph on #Logseq, but I'd rather keep web bookmarks on #Raindropio. Flat lists don't work for me, especially once they grow tall such that I'm not able to see all the items at once.

Mi primera contribución a Raycast: Añadiendo Notas a Raindrop.io

Mashable: Pocket is shutting down. Here are the read-later app alternatives.. “Pocket may be saying goodbye, but plenty of bookmarking and read-later platforms are still alive and kicking. If you’re looking for a read-later service like Pocket, Instapaper and Readwise are two popular options.” Also Raindrop, which I use and heartily recommend. I have no financial relationship with them except […]

I hear Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, and it took me back to my troubles with the app last year + my adventures to find a #FOSS replacement. I did Pocket → Omnivore → Raindrop, and I'm still loving Raindrop so far (+ its lovely RSS feed).

I highly recommend Raindrop to anyone looking for a Pocket alternative, and it's easy to migrate: https://raindrop.io/integrations/pocket

What's the best alternative to #Pocket?

I'm seeing #readeck, #wallabag, #raindropio, #instapaper, #karakeep, #floccus, #memex, #obsidian, and #curiooo.

I need it to do a good job reading articles and be available for web and android. I'd love it to be FOSS and let me support them monthly. I dream of it having great integration with my fedi account.

I see that @readeck, @instapaper, @wallabag and @obsidian are here. Anybody else?

UPDATE: I went with @wallabag. It's great.

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!

I'm giving Raindrop.io another go. I've tried various bookmark managers over the years, but always just went back to the browser's. However, this makes it somewhat difficult to switch between browsers as I like my bookmarks to be “just so.” I figured, I used a 3rd party password manager, why not a 3rd party bookmark manager?

Let’s see how it goes this time around!
