The first thing I do on a fresh install of firefox is disable pocket.
anyone know good alternative to pocket?
Having a purse allows even more storage
Would not recommend. That's how you end up with lopsided shoulders and a bad back.
A backpack solves both problems!
Can't confirm, now I have two lopsided shoulders.
A frontpack and a backpack!
If only that was the only way to end up this way... (for the back at least).
No, but a good option that still works:
As someone who has never used an RSS reader, any suggestions?
Realistically probably feedly. I don't use it but it's a reasonably good service.
This is actually amazing!
I use RSS so this will integrate fantastically
Thank you!
I love Umibo, turns your new tab screen into a persistent full tab bookmark manager with a pretty background
I haven't tried it yet but I've heard good things about omnivore
I also just found shiori
I tried omnivore for a bit because it’s pretty clean and seems to integrate well with other apps like Obsidian, Logseq, etc. but I found it to be a little too sparse. I’m currently using raindrop.ion and that’s hitting the sweet spot for me. I think a big part of it is that omnivore is geared strongly toward heavy readers, so as a designer I save a lot of things for viewing more than reading, and more of an archive for projects and thoughts than something to catch up with. And I’ve got my reading list, movie list, software list, and all sorts of others in there that it’s closer to a personal Pinterest than a read it later app.
It is a really nice app though so if someone’s in the market for a reading-first definitely check it out! I’m personally really digging my personal knowledge archive with raindrop.ion and think it’s worth checking out too!
Assuming you mean the save-to-read-later functionality, I hear good things about Wallabag. You can even self-host it if you want.
