Any decent alternatives to Pocket?

• themadturk 3y ago
  I'm experimenting with Raindrop.io both as a replacement for the (long dead) Delicious and for Pocket, which I use for long-term bookmarking. I'm not happy with Pocket's shortcomings as far as organizing, despite my use of tags, and I really need a way of preserving bookmarks across systems and browsers. I also wish Pocket had a way of exporting my data (though maybe I just haven't found it yet). Raindrop allows me to take notes on websites and gives me a more structured way of organizing things, but moving stuff from Pocket is a royal pain.

    I've been looking at Raindrop as well, thankfully I don't have much to move from Pocket at the moment... might give Raindrop a go... big thing for me is that opening a bookmark needs to be as easy and upfront as opening a browser bookmark is

    There appears to be a Pocket export function here: https://help.getpocket.com/article/1015-exporting-your-pocket-list https://help.getpocket.com/article/1015-exporting-your-pocke...

    This comment pushed me to pay for and switch to Raindrop from Pocket and I love it. Thank you!

  Wallabag is the one suggestion that keeps popping up persistently, though I've not used it myself. You can deploy your own instance. <https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag>

  I have replaced Pocket with Omnivore[1], its still in development, but they support all major platforms and are open-source and the app has all the features you could possibly ask for. [1]: https://omnivore.app https://omnivore.app

    That's the one that's caught my interest the most I think, cheers will take a look!
