ResearchBuzz: FirehoseJuha-Matti Santala: A sign of a good tool is that you don’t notice it – one year with wallabag. “A year ago in June, 2025, when Mozilla shut down Pocket, I took a look at the alternatives and ended up choosing wallabag. I’ve been using it daily ever since.”

JuhisA year ago I picked up @wallabag as a potential successor to Pocket that Mozilla was shutting down.
It's now been a bit over a year and after the first few months, I stopped noticing it.
I use it daily, enjoy it a lot and it's so refreshing to use a service that isn't constantly pushing something to my face.
I also wrote about how I use wallabag for three different use cases.

A sign of a good tool is that you don’t notice it - one year with wallabag
wallabag is a read-it-later service that I’ve been using for a year now. Despite using it every day, I hardly notice it. It’s a perfect tool for my needs and I’m a very happy user. Here’s how I use it and why I like their approach.
Nicolas LœuilletI just sent 23.000 mails to users who created an account on wallabag.it before January 2025 and never subscribed. Their account will be deleted on July.

Some restrictions for trial accounts on wallabag.it
I recently made a small but important change to wallabag.it, and I’d like to explain why. Some features may be a bit resource-intensive for the server: saving articles by email: send a link to your personal wallabag address to save it instantly. importing RSS / Atom feeds: automatically pull in articles from your favourite sources. importing from other services: bring in your articles from Pocket, Instapaper, your browser bookmarks, and more. These features are really handy, but they also use a lot of resources behind the scenes. Over the past months, we noticed that a number of trial and test accounts were using them very heavily and in some cases, in a clearly abusive way.

hobbsi tried out #wallabag and #koreader on my kobo to replace #instapaper and the stock interface. i really didn't care much for it. at least i know i have an option if #kobo ever enshittifies. i still need to pick up a new kobo, though. the battery on this one won't make it much longer.

Las herramientas libres tienen un efecto secundario poco estudiado.
Empiezas preguntando qué es Wallabag.
Dos días después tienes un VPS, Docker, ocho servicios corriendo y una herramienta que instalaste a las 2 de la mañana "por si acaso".
No sabes para qué sirve.
Pero ahí está.
He intentado resumir las cinco fases por las que pasamos casi todos cuando descubrimos el software libre, el autohospedaje y eso de que "solo voy a instalar una cosa".
¿Te reconoces en alguna? 😅
