With Mozilla announcing they're shutting down Pocket I thought I'd mention that for a while I've been working on a little bookmarking web-app called Readlynx. It will be open-source and self-hosted, but I hope to look into providing hosted instances in the future.

It's a single binary to download and run, which I'm hoping will make it super easy to get started. If this interests you, follow me or the #readlynx hash tag for updates. 1/2

@wezm Wait, they did WHAT !? 🤬
Being able to bookmark and store new web pages is all well and nice but the emergency is how do I save the library they plan to burn ?

@blabaere if by library you mean your own bookmarks, there is an export available: https://getpocket.com/export
Pocket: Log In

@wezm Thank you very much sir, that will buy me some time to find where to put those. Ideally I'd want a place where to store the content of each page, not just the link.
99% of it is raw text, but if you loose the formatting and the picture, significant value still goes away too ...

@wezm
Apparently, Pocket used to have its own URL shortener and the export contain these shortened URLs. Which obviously don't work anymore.

@blabaere oh wow, what a failure.
