- people who are privileged enough to never have experienced multiple days without an internet connection.
it's a shame to see it go, it's been the first read-it-later service that I was aware of and used. I've moved away to Omnivore (RIP) and then Wallabag (https://wallabag.it/ for 11€/year, but you can self-host it or find someone else to host it for you for a lower fee), but I've still been thinking fondly of it, despite Mozilla clearly trying to force people into social reading rather than just serve as a convenient offline storage of articles.
Why would you need a saas solution if it's for offline reading? Seems like a contradiction
...so that you can read it on a device other than the one you've initially opened the link on? I can save a link to Wallabag from my laptop's browser at home, have my e-readet sync it, and then read it offline while on a train.
Obsidian with the readitlater plugin is good, and actually stored in a standard format entirely on your devices, so truly offline.
I have ended up using Zotero for this, which takes a snapshot of the webpage for offline reading (and preservation). Synced to other clients through my WebDAV server. Originally only used Zotero as a reference manager for academic journal papers, but liked using it more broadly.
I've heard good things about karakeep (also requires self hosting) https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep
How does all this compare with something like Goodlinks?
well, for starters I can't install Goodlinks on Linux, Android, or a jailbroken Kindle.
Gotcha
if you happen to be an apple person Safari’s Reading List can save pages offline.
Check out LinkedIn for this
Edit: multiple days later... Linkwarden not linkedin....
