Looking for a app/service to save webpages - Lemmy.world

Problem: I scroll on lemmy, I talk to friends, I see some interesting page, project, funny meme or something else. (when I was on reddit i pressed SAVE, when I was on Instagram I pressed PIN (or something) and now I’m stuck with (uncategorised) information all over the place. My current idea is: push everything to Telegram group where my bot listens, take the URL, maybe even extract some data and save it somewhere. 90% of my input will be over the phone but here and there also PC. Any suggestions for self-hosted service to dump data in our (even better) to even skip whole bot part altogether?

use… bookmarks? And if it’s a concern that the pages you want to bookmark might disappear, you can use something like wallabag: github.com/wallabag/wallabag
GitHub - wallabag/wallabag: wallabag is a self hostable application for saving web pages: Save and classify articles. Read them later. Freely.

I have yet to find a way to do this on my phone, but on my pc I use the Joplin note taking app with the web clipper extension. Joplin is also available for smartphones, but I don’t think the webclipper is.

You can select part of a webpage, or even the whole page, and have it saved into Joplin. You can create notebooks for certain categories or add tags to make searching stuff more easy.

I sync it using nextcloud, but that’s a bit more work to set up.

Wallabag is nice, you share a link and it archives it’s content like in reader view.

You can also add tags that are searchable

@mwalker789 I used ArchiveBox for a while and I really liked it. --> https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox

I use Joplin Firefox extension. One click and i can save page as a text/HTML/image/link into my Joplin notebook. You can sync with your own server, with NextCloud, with Joplin paid cloud and with something else. Great FOSS app.

You want a "read it later" service, like Omnivore or Wallabag.

Another vote for Omnivore. It syncs great into Obsidian also.

What is your workflow if you find something on mobile and you want to save it to omnivore?
Show threadasapAug 2, 2023
You share it to the Omnivore app. Couldn’t be easier.

@mwalker789 @selfhosted Solution?: Use Yuito + a mastodon account to browse around.
I have a bookmark button below your post as I type this.

Not sure though if mastodon's favourites translate to lemmy's likes though, you also lose the "best of day/week/month" UI. So it depends on your use case.

I hope this helps!

doesn’t this just cover mastodon? what about everything else?
Show threaddavidgtlAug 2, 2023
@mwalker789 Not sure what you mean by everything else. You can see, follow, post, comment, favourite and bookmark any ActivityPub-compatible posts (that includes lemmy, for which I don't have an account, yet here I am talking with you)
Show threadmwalker789Aug 2, 2023
Right - maybe I wasn’t clear enough - I’m looking for something where I can dump any URL which I find any where - aka.: just scrolling the web (not just lemmy/mastodon/fediverse)

@mwalker789 Are you looking to create a "to read later" list, or to save the content to disk? Pinning and saving is like the former but your ideas about a telegram bot suggest the latter.

If it is more on the archiving side, here is a short list to get you started https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Web-Archiving-Community

Reminds me of the days of Stumbleupon when you could save webpages.
Show threadKool_NewtAug 3, 2023
There’s a Firefox extension called SingleFile that’s great for saving/archiving entire web pages.
