I really appreciate all the feedback from the community! I haven’t had time to address everything yet, but I thought I’d share the redesign as I continue to make this a useful tool for everyone who needs to find a new home for their articles. For anyone who saw the old version, I think you’ll agree it has come a long way!
This isn’t analogous to RSS. I’ve been using RSS for more than twenty years. I’ve been using Pocket to save web pages for eleven years (migrated to Wallabag). RSS is great for catching new info. Read-it-later services are great for storing information.
Certainly RSS adjacent! Definitely different purposes, as you’ve described. Wallabag and FreshRSS are a nice combination.
I use bookmarks for that. All the browsers I use support them.
Bookmarks lead to dead sites. Read-it-later services store content. I went to send a link to a friend last week and the source was gone. Luckily, I had the content stored and was able to copy / paste the original info to my friend after the domain expired. A bookmark doesn’t get the old data.
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
