⚠️ Important PSA about #Pocket ‼️

If you used Pocket to save interesting articles you found online, you may be aware that #Mozilla decided to shut down the app and discontinue support.

I vaguely remembered that date was July and had a mini-heart attack when I saw it was actually July 8.

Good news though: if you, like me, have hundreds of articles saved to Pocket, you have until October 8 to request an export of your data (I just did): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/future-of-pocket

Next up: moving to @wallabag 🤗

@_elena I was using Wallabag but switched to @readeck (available via YunoHost) and wrote about my journey.

I would encourage you to check out Readeck, it explicitly supports importing from Pocket. Highlights compared to Wallabag:

  • highlighting text and having them show up in one spot
  • saving a Mastodon thread
  • saving a video and automatically getting the transcript (so video topics show up in text search)
  • saving content behind login wall (you save what you see in your browser)
  • link sharing with the highlights
Bookmarking! I mean omnivoring! no, hoarding! no, bagging… wait, decking!?

I have been on a prolonged bookmarking/reading-later/digital-archiving solution journey. Here’s a quick run-down of my experience, this is not a review of these tools.

@_elena@mastodon.social @readeck@mastodon.online I set it up during lunch one day after reading @shom@gts.shom.dev's experience. So easy and so good.
