What is Reddit's opinion of wallabag?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I understand the usefulness of integrating a bookmark storage option, but I disagree with their forced usage of a proprietary provider. If they could implement Firefox Hello, why not implement a tweaked version of, say, Wallabag?

For those interested to host something like pocket on their own servers, I just leave this here: https://www.wallabag.org

It's open source, quite polished and can be fed with apps for Android/iOS/WP, extensions for FF/Chrome and bookmarklets.

Edit, just tested on a friends rather cheap webhosting package, also worked, so that is another option for some people.

Unfortunately, Mozilla had a reading-list that was actually pretty neat, and completely superseded anything pocket did. It looked like it would (eventually) leverage the sync functionality. Currently, it was limited to the (android) device you were using it on.

I've been a pocket user for a while (since it was "read it later"), and was really looking toward having the reading list on the desktop so I could stop using pocket. (I'm not a fan of pocket's UX).

Unfortunately, it looks like reading list development has been halted in favour of pocket. Sad.

Looks like I'll have to stop waiting and just install wallabag on my own.

It is if you don't subscribe to the Pocket service, which is non-free. If you still want to benefit from that kind of service, consider using a free alternative like Wallabag

Well, obviously the Wallabag features are a good point to start. Good Text/Image-extraction from the Webpage would be key for me. Also mobile device support.

From the policy:

> If you choose to, you may connect your Pocket account to third-party applications to enable additional features like saving from your favorite apps or other unique features third-party developers have created. We have set up controls in the Pocket application so that you can control the information that is shared with third-party providers of products and services. For example, you may be informed that another app that you use wants to connect to your Pocket account. In some cases, such apps will request access to certain data in your Pocket account, such as your Pocket list or your preferred topics, sites and authors (which we have developed based on the content you have saved to Pocket), so that they can customize their services. Before such access is provided, however, you will be asked to authorize the sharing of any such information. Although the Pocket Technologies may be used in conjunction with third-party products and services, we are not affiliated with, and have no control over, such third parties. Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you and we encourage you to check the privacy policy of each third-party provider of products or services that you choose to connect your Pocket account to.

Regarding monetization, Pocket offers premium accounts, and there may be advertising on articles posted by Pocket.

If you aren't comfortable with either aggregate data sharing or being advertised to, you can check out self hosted https://www.wallabag.org

..Or they collecting info about the sites and links we save, for that matter. There's an open search pocket like app that respect privacy, but it's a paid app. I don't remember what's called, now.

edit: I've found it. It's called wallabag

Save to Read - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-to-read/

which is a Firefox extension to accomplish the same thing.

Maybe they wanted a hosted solution that could be used across multiple devices ? . . ?

If that were the case there is also "wallabag" which they could host themselves in Firefox Sync and provide the same functionality as Pocket. Wallabag is Open Source and is a self-hosted solution. - https://www.wallabag.org/

I haven't tried it, but Wallabag was suggested as a self-hosted alternative to bookmarking services in the Lifehacker article The Best Self-Hosted Alternatives To Popular Services. Once you set it up, you could just make it your home page, and (I suppose) have a bookmarklet to add new items to it quickly.

C'est pour sauvegarder des articles (ou d'autres trucs) à lire plus tard. Peut-être que tu connais Pocket. Wallabag, c'est Libre.

Son site : https://www.wallabag.org/
Tu peux l'héberger sur ton serveur web (si tu en as un) ou alors tu as ça : https://framabag.org/

Does not look like there is something for owncloud, but maybe this is something you could try:

> wallabag is a self hostable application for saving web pages. Unlike other services, wallabag is free (as in freedom) and open source.

> With this application you will not miss content anymore. Click, save, read it when you want. It saves the content you select so that you can read it when you have time.

Heise hat den Blogartikel des Sicherheitsforschers falsch gelesen. Pocket gab nur Informationen über die Pocket-Server selbst heraus, nicht über die Nutzer (mal außen vor gelassen, dass das Angriffe auf die Server erleichtert, um dann wirklich an Nutzerdaten zu kommen).

Allen, die ihre Artikel lieber selbst speichern möchten, kann ich die selbst gehostete Alternative wallabag empfehlen.

I use wallabag on a Mac Pro that I own, and it works great. I simply moved the zip file downloaded from their site into the /var/www/wallabag folder (I set up my Apache installation with a VHost that hosted wallabag on wallabag.mywebsite.com, but if you don't want to do that then you can unzip the file to /var/www/html/wallabag, then simply navigate to [website]/wallabag) and I was ready to go.

One thing to note: if you're setting up the Android app, the key and user ID are found in the settings of your wallabag website.

If you only want to move them once then you cant export them as .html and import them in the ungoogled chromium.

for syncing there is wallabag, but i dont have any personal experience with it.

Pocket is owned by Mozilla. I trust Mozilla to not sell this data. If you would prefer to run your own service, there is always self hosted https://www.wallabag.org/en

For Sync, as I mentioned, it is impossible to sell or gather data because no one but your browser sees the data.

The only thing that comes to my mind is Wallabag, but your needs specific enough to justify the development of a custom solution. With modern frameworks this shouldn't be too hard if you've got time to invest.

Oh the Joys and Tricks of staying one step ahead of the money grabbing net programmers.

Another useful trick is Wallabag which means you can archive content easily on your own system and then if necessary dump it into DropBox for public access.

Don't forget your best service: Framabag/Wallabag. Why do I think it's the best? Because there are no other FOSS alternatives to Pocket AFAIK.

Too much effort is directed towards redoing the work others have already done, IMO, like image hosting and file sharing. Use your limited resources on doing things noone else does, so that you will actually be able to make them into real alternatives for normal people (which Frama/Wallabag isn't just yet, mostly becasue of worse UI/UX IMHO).
