- Comment on I have a Sanni Open Source Cartridge Reader (OSCR). Does anyone want their games and saves backed up? 3 weeks ago:
Great question. I am in the United States and it would probably be best to stick with the United States for now. Probably Canada too.
Of course, I would like it if anyone from any country could use it, but that starts to get complicated. If a lot of people are interested, that may change things.

I’m very curious what you think would work best. Also, if you are interested, you can leave a comment or direct message me.

Offline reading and organizing for starters
- Comment on I've been working on a guide to Pocket alternatives 3 weeks ago:
I’ll look into that. Thanks!
- Comment on I've been working on a guide to Pocket alternatives 3 weeks ago:
That’s on my list! I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Right now, the idea is to compare the features against Pocket, at least to start. Would you want to compare any 2 options?
- Comment on I've been working on a guide to Pocket alternatives 3 weeks ago:
TIL! Thanks!

I’ve made some updates. There are many perspectives to view a guide like this. I hope there are some improvements to the self-hosting perspective. getoffpocket.com

I’ll think about that. It’s to the right on desktop, but it’s not quite as nice on mobile, is it.
- Comment on getoffpocket.com, my guide to Pocket alternatives, just got a redesign 3 weeks ago:
You can certainly do that, but read-it-later apps offer offline reading and other features that many people enjoy. It could be worth a second look, but if you have something that works for you, that’s great
- Comment on getoffpocket.com, my guide to Pocket alternatives, just got a redesign 3 weeks ago:
Certainly RSS adjacent! Definitely different purposes, as you’ve described. Wallabag and FreshRSS are a nice combination.
- Comment on getoffpocket.com, my guide to Pocket alternatives, just got a redesign 3 weeks ago:
Glad to hear you’re trying Wallabag! I made this tool that could be helpful for others in your situation: benjaminoakes.github.io/pocket-to-wallabag/ It sidesteps the Pocket API entirely.
- Comment on getoffpocket.com, my guide to Pocket alternatives, just got a redesign 3 weeks ago:
You have some good feedback. Thanks for taking the time to provide it.

Thanks for the feedback!
Omnivore is still around as an open source project. There’s no official hosting. That may need to be represented better.
As far as I know Pocket is completely shutting down. It would be big news if it isn’t. I heard some things about someone buying it, but the Pocket website hasn’t been updated in a couple weeks since I heard that first.
It’s a good point about Pocket being listed. There are some plans to make it easier to compare alternatives to Pocket and that’s why it’s there. A bit of a partially finished thought right now, given that I pulled that out of what was released. I’ll look at hiding it.

It takes a lot of effort to make something like this. I appreciate any support people are willing to provide so I can continue improving it.

Thank you to everyone who commented! I’m digesting all of what has been said and will be adjusting the guide as I can. If you’re able, donations are welcome! (See link on the site)

Do you know if there is any interest in resurrecting it?
- Comment on I'm making a guide to Pocket alternatives: getoffpocket.com 5 weeks ago:
Good question! I know Wallabag has some eReader integrations through KOReader. People on Kobo devices seem to like it especially. There may be other options too. I’ll look at this some more! I’d appreciate anyone sharing details that they know too.

- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 1 month ago:
I do sometimes, when I know the tech stack. (I wonder if GitHub Copilot could help in other situations?)
For example, I’ve been learning more about FreshRSS and Wallabag (especially now that Pocket is shutting down).
In any case, with open source, I trust that someone looks at it.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 months ago:
Well, it can be the last version of Windows for you. 🙂
Ubuntu is nice. I use it daily. Others in my family too. And there are other options too. I hear Mint is nice though I haven’t used it much.
Give it some thought. 🙂
