- timvdalen 1y agoMe too, I hope there will be a replacement with the same low friction. I've been using IFTTT with RSS feeds to add serialized stories to my Kobo as they release.
- podgietaru 1y agoThey should be able to change it with fairly minimal changes. I managed to modify some things to proxy articles from Omnivore to it, and the functionality remained largely the same across the two services. They'd have to implement some kind of login, but they they should just be able to build some kind of converter between whatever format and the format that is expected by the Kobo device.
- xandrius 1y agoCould you share the flow if someone wanted to replicate it for their own Kobo?
- timvdalen 1y agoYes, but it currently depends on Pocket working. I have an RSS feed from RoyalRoad that new episodes come in on. Using IFTTT, I have an action set up to, whenever a new item comes in on that feed, add the _URL_ of it to my Pocket account. Then, Kobo just syncs the Pocket articles automatically, and the new episode is added.
