Kobo is bringing Instapaper integrated to its eBook readers. You can use it to send web articles to your eReader. With Mozilla shutting down its Pocket service, Instapaper will offer similar functionality for Kobo users moving forward. #Kobo #Instapaper #Pocket #Mozilla #eReaders blog.instapaper.com/post/78968

Excited to hear about @instapaper's impending support for #Kobo ereaders! I was lamenting the lack of good article options after #Pocket shut down, but it looks like we might have something after all 🎉

(PS: I do also have #Wallabag going as a backup)

⚠️ Important PSA about #Pocket ‼️

If you used Pocket to save interesting articles you found online, you may be aware that #Mozilla decided to shut down the app and discontinue support.

I vaguely remembered that date was July and had a mini-heart attack when I saw it was actually July 8.

Good news though: if you, like me, have hundreds of articles saved to Pocket, you have until October 8 to request an export of your data (I just did): support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/f

Next up: moving to @wallabag 🤗

So far, @wallabag is an awesome replacement for #pocket if you want a great text to speech experience on android. everything else looks great too. FOSS, the option to self host, both a web and app experience, nice options to support them.

@wfryer

what I need is the text to speech function. I'm using @instapaper but it's much less refined than #pocket was, at least on Android.

Another one bites the dust!

#Pocket is shutting down tomorrow... So, what are you switching to? I already learned the lesson, and I've been moving all my apps to Solid. In today's video, I'll build a Pocket replacement.

Attempting to move my 18,000+ articles over from #Pocket to a #selfhosted #Wallabag is giving me a greater appreciation of how much resources these things can end up taking

@bookish I had set up #Wallabag a while ago, which is easy to #selfhost with #YunoHost and I believe there are a bunch of public instances as well 🦘

I use #Pocket for syncing articles to my #Kobo, and while it's nothing near the nicely streamlined interface Kobo had going, there is #wallabako which lets me download Wallabag articles as ePub files for reading. I'm still hoping for an official replacement but I suppose something is better than nothing ⬇️

What are people using as a cross-platform off-line reading replacement for the now defunct #Pocket? Please boost for reach -- thanks!

With the new developments from #ghost #wordpress etc, we need to evolve from RSS readers to #ActivityPub readers. See titles or article descriptions from our social graph, then click for the whole thing. Have it converted to speech and played. Be able to reply to, like and boost it. Have it queue up the most popular stuff from the people we follow. Eventually pay writers directly for time spent via an open fiat transfer protocol.

That's what I wanted from #pocket and now from @instapaper.

I have just recently learnt that Mozilla is going to deprecate and then shut down Pocket! This sucks.

I personally moved from Pocket to Wallabag last year for other reasons. It's working out great, and I wrote a Python script for the migration.

I meant to "make it good" and release it, but I've been busy and I haven't had the time to fix it.

Do people want it? It exports JSON and the imports to Wallabag. It's just a little manual on very large/old archives.

So @instapaper is not as good at text-to-speech as #pocket was. At least on Android. Just stops a lot and is less convenient to use for this purpose. Is there a better option?

I was using #pocket and am now on the free trial of premium. I use android and it's pretty great so far. any thoughts about more fully embracing the fedi? #SocialWeb

With Mozilla shutting down Pocket, folks are calling for open-sourcing it. There's this “pocket-monorepo” project which seems to contain the majority of server code? github.com/Pocket/pocket-monor

Some parts are missing, notably the parser, but I've found it useful for reverse engineering their GraphQL API, particularly the public API proxy.
Anyone can confirm what else is missing?
