If you're into self-hosting there's Wallabag, but it's not half as slick as Omnivore.
I second Wallabag — IMO "slick" is a nice-to-have, not a must-have when weighing software choices against each other.
At least Wallabag has a long and robust track record of not selling users out to bullshit tech corpos. That counts for more in my book than shiny surfaces.
Gosh darn it I only just onboarded to Omnivore a few months ago Now I guess I need to find a new place to store bookmarks
Same. I’m fucking furious. I specifically chose it over something like Readwise in order to stay open source. Ugh.
Once you find a good and nice solution, please let me know. It seems the good things are always condemned to disappear.
If it's just bookmarks can recommend Floccus and LinkWarden.
You're telling me THIS is where I'm finding this out???? Gah fckin damnit, time to find a new one.... Any recommendations?
I like Wallabag. Snuggles in nicely with my chosen RSS: Miniflux
Same man... Tested a lot too, this was the only pleasing one for me Hit me up if you test a good one
Shame on them. Already deleted my account and self-hosted hoarder.
Why would a AI voice company buy a read-it-later service???
They have their own reader app focused on their voice technology. Probably the plan is expand it to a read-it-later app similar to what omnivore is, and charge a subscription for ir. Similar to readwise but more focused on voice, I would think that's the plan.
Remember that so far nobody is making money with "AI" other than NVIDIA so they are starting to do these far out or whacky pivots to seek monetization.
So are they somehow able to relicense by buying off the contributors? Or does Eleven Labs intend to host/use something under AGPLv3? Just trying to figure out what their plan is and how they're dealing with it being open source
Everything that exists as it is now will remain open source. More than bought the developers seem to have been hired by eleven labs and most likely have been working there for a while, so they are actually taking their know how and experience there more than taking the code itself.
That's how it looks like to me.
Another possibility is that the eleven labs reading app has portions licensed as agpl, the ones taken from omnivore.
Thanks, yeah looks like they are wanting to build on their own reader app.
There's also readwise reader which is better in most ways. Not open source - but also not pretending to be either
Also not exactly cheap!
No, very true
Stumbled upon it not too long ago but hadn’t yet determined it important enough for me to use yet. But I can see the tech stack looks like something I could get back into. If a fork starts I might finally move my lazy ass to do a PR here or review there. I’ll keep an eye out on it
I didn't even get an e-mail. I found out when I went to save an article as usual and there was a little banner at the top of the page.
At least they've extended the migration period until November 30.
Simple apps version 2 , which app is next ?
Honestly this is such a shame, it was a really good app
