Hi there, As written in the title, wallabag is a self-hosted read-it-later web application (like Pocket or Instapaper, but open-source) that saves content from webpages. You can organize content and sync it on different devices. We were kindly invited (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10904805 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10904805) by HN to do a Show HN, and hope you'll be interested in our project. For the last few months, we've been working on a whole new version of our application (v2), and it sound very promising. We've just launched a new alpha version for you to test on your server : https://www.wallabag.org/blog/2016/01/22/wallabag-alpha2-v2 https://www.wallabag.org/blog/2016/01/22/wallabag-alpha2-v2. You can also have a preview at http://v2.wallabag.org/ http://v2.wallabag.org/ If you're not willing to play adventurous, you can still give a try to old version 1.9.1 or choose our hosting service at https://framabag.org/ https://framabag.org/

Cool, that's a nice thing to have self-hosted! Is there a page explaining the main differences between 1.x and 2.x? (since "whole new version" suggests there is more behind it than just more features)
- tcit 11y ago
  The main differences between the two versions is that v2.x uses Symfony as framework and (finally) provides an API for applications to connect properly to it. And it's rewritten from scratch.

After registering, I receive an email: - from webmaster@example.org - named 'webmaster' - subject 'Welcome OJFord' - signed off 'Regards, The Team' That is, it does not at all identify where it came from. The example.org sender is particularly odd, I don't know why you're doing that?

  Registering where?

  I checked configuration on v2.wallabag.org and our email is no-reply@wallabag.org. Where did you register yourself?

    Registering at http://v2.wallabag.org/login http://v2.wallabag.org/login, I just got exactly the same symptoms. See: https://gist.github.com/cgb/04a7291f2377f818b663 https://gist.github.com/cgb/04a7291f2377f818b663

      I just tried a fix. Can you re-try please?
      - OJFord 11y ago
        Sorry for the formatting of original post, clearly didn't check that. Seems fixed now, though the name appears as "wallabag¬" - not sure if the last character is deliberate? (Hint: even if it is, it looks like it isn't, which might not be what you want!)
        nicosomb 11y ago
        it was a quick fix, the real fix has just been merged https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/pull/1625 https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/pull/1625 and will be published with next release. Thanks for reporting.

        Pretty nasty that it even has that default value IMO. Better to error if not set, let the dev explicitly put in some dummy values that's ever desired - that's why I said above "not sure why you're doing this", I assumed it was a setting of yours, not a '[neglect-to-]setting'!

Thank you for wallabag! I have been using it for quite a while and it's really quite nice. I look forward to trying the new version. Does it handle HN posts now? The last time I tried to bag an HN post with the old version it failed :)
- tcit 11y ago
  Not yet (well, the HN html code is really dirty, so that explains why it fails to grab content). We'll try fixing this.

Hi, and thank you for Wallabag! I've been happily using the self-hosted version for quite a while now. At some point I forked[1] the Android app but development stalled when I needed an API to be able to improve the app further. So this v2 is great news! Just an FYI: in the blog post you mention that the login for the preview of v2 is wallabag/wallabag, however I get 'bad credentials' when trying that. This new Material Design version looks awesome! Eagerly looking forward to v2 becoming stable so I can upgrade. [1]: https://github.com/monkeyinmysoup/wallabag-android https://github.com/monkeyinmysoup/wallabag-android

  someone changed the credentials, you can create your free account on v2.wallabag.org
- nicosomb 11y ago
  wow nice your fork! Did you see that we released a new android version few months ago?
  - mathijs 11y ago
    Thanks! I didn't know that, but I'll check it out. Thanks!

I would love that the site / domain specific xpath recipes were available as a separate repository, with all the usual community / ugc shebang. I have been using wallabag recipes for a while, saving an otherwise expensive diffbot subscription.
