I’ve made some updates. There are many perspectives to view a guide like this. I hope there are some improvements to the self-hosting perspective. https://getoffpocket.com/

I’ll think about that. It’s to the right on desktop, but it’s not quite as nice on mobile, is it.

You can certainly do that, but read-it-later apps offer offline reading and other features that many people enjoy. It could be worth a second look, but if you have something that works for you, that’s great

Certainly RSS adjacent! Definitely different purposes, as you’ve described. Wallabag and FreshRSS are a nice combination.

Glad to hear you’re trying Wallabag! I made this tool that could be helpful for others in your situation: https://benjaminoakes.github.io/pocket-to-wallabag/ It sidesteps the Pocket API entirely.

You have some good feedback. Thanks for taking the time to provide it.

Thanks for the feedback!

Omnivore is still around as an open source project. There’s no official hosting. That may need to be represented better.

As far as I know Pocket is completely shutting down. It would be big news if it isn’t. I heard some things about someone buying it, but the Pocket website hasn’t been updated in a couple weeks since I heard that first.

It’s a good point about Pocket being listed. There are some plans to make it easier to compare alternatives to Pocket and that’s why it’s there. A bit of a partially finished thought right now, given that I pulled that out of what was released. I’ll look at hiding it.

It takes a lot of effort to make something like this. I appreciate any support people are willing to provide so I can continue improving it.

Thank you to everyone who commented! I’m digesting all of what has been said and will be adjusting the guide as I can. If you’re able, donations are welcome! (See link on the site)

Do you know if there is any interest in resurrecting it?

Good question! I know Wallabag has some eReader integrations through KOReader. People on Kobo devices seem to like it especially. There may be other options too. I’ll look at this some more! I’d appreciate anyone sharing details that they know too.

Pocket is shutting down on July 8th, but you can retake control of your reading with Wallabag, a self-hostable read-it-later app.

For RSS, try FreshRSS–simple, private, and available to run however you’d like.

The tools are out there. The web can still be yours.

Well, it can be the last version of Windows for you. 🙂

Ubuntu is nice. I use it daily. Others in my family too. And there are other options too. I hear Mint is nice though I haven’t used it much.

Give it some thought. 🙂
