I was just looking at this, actually. For a moment I thought it was going to be a bust but then I saw there is a preference option to open the readable form of a page by default. I also love PWAs...
Not sure if you were aware, you can run a minimal selfhosted Omnivore setup. Not sure if it will meet your needs or not
It's hosted, but not self-hosted.
By curiosity, what are you trying to say ?
The directions specifically lead through using a docker host and an elastic search host, But there's certainly no reason you couldn't just do that on your own.
So the title of the blog post is incorrect? I didn’t look at it super closely so apologies if I’m incorrect
The "minimal" part is incorrect; it is a super complicated container. The number of moving parts don't leave me with any confidence that I could keep it running or fix any issues going forwards.
Totally agree there, I’m only aware it exists because I didn’t want to go through the hassle of setting up/maintaining either.
I assume “minimal” refers more to the fact that it won’t have all Omnivore features rather than it being uncomplicated to set up
I agree with others that you need to break down these requirements into multiple apps. I use FreshRSS for feeds and it has a bunch of mobile app integrations.
And the most recent update of Linkwarden seems to have a ton of features that might be worth your while, including PDF, screenshot, and Readable caching.
I just spun up a FreshRSS container and it is working flawlessly for that purpose so far. I appreciate the suggestions.
Maybe Linkwarden? Not reader oriented but it supports it and has an App.
Linkwarden doesn't appear to support RSS, which is a massive bummer.
Maybe FreshRSS with some extensions?
I saw a recent commit to fire an event when saving a favorite, so probably you can get an extension to send the link to something like archivebox for the pages you favorite.
I've just fiddled with an already created extension, but they seem fairly simple to create your own easily.
Of course you can inject JS so you could make it more complex if you want.
I settled on Raindrop.io which is free but I paid to support it ($30 a year I think). I had to change my workflow slightly and the Obsidian integration is not as great as Omnivore's, but it wasn't a pain. The browser integration is really good and I prefer it to Omnivore's. It supports RSS and has a decent mobile app.
Overall I think it's a decent replacement and I'm happy.
I tried Wallabag but the Obsidian integration was poor and Wallabag felt unloved recycle by extension made me question it's future (which is unfair given my limited time with it). There was a trial which was not enough time for me to evaluate it comfortably.
Take a look at Linkding. Run the latest-plus version to archive pages and get reader mode features. You can use Linkdy as the Android app for it. I'm unsure about the RSS features though.
I think a separate FreshRSS container would be better for that though, and you can use ReadYou as the Android app.
I have started downloading websites as markdown files and then syncing them with syncthing.
What are you using to download them as Markdown?
