- 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
Check out LinkedIn for this
Edit: multiple days later... Linkwarden not linkedin....
if you happen to be an apple person Safari’s Reading List can save pages offline.
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
