I migrated from Instapaper to Omnivore, which was open source and had Instapaper's paid features. That was acquired by the parent company of ElevenReader and shut down, although the source code still exists for self-hosting. ElevenReader reads the articles but doesn't have the highlighting and other useful features of Instapaper and Omnivore.

shutdown

a noun, with a hyphen.

shut down

a verb.

You need to pick the right lane.

[–] podperson@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Ackshually (sorry)

Shut down is a verb and an adverb

[–] theo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Alternatively, 'Shutdown' (with a capital), when refering to the 2015 grime track by Skepta.

Why not use simple bookmarks?

Having something that will archive the website for you and also display a nicely formatted "reader" version is a kind of handy automation

These services save the page for offline viewing in a reader format. Also you can quickly save from any app

Wondering the same. Heck I don't even use bookmarks for most things, I just remember/autocomplete the address, or search it up, or remember how I found it before.

All I want is tagging of URLs (using pinboard and some OS apps for that), but would prefer to just have them stored locally (and I can choose how to back them up) instead of relying on a cloud service. Anything out there that fits the bill? Also, a nice Firefox plugin for tagging plus searching those would be nice.
