Any news on the Pocket replacement?

The title says it all. Have there been any announcements about a replacement read-it-later app?

I haven't heard anything that is a 1-to-1 replacement yet.

There is wallabag, but:

  • either pay a modest fee or self-host the server
  • kobo "integration" isn't really integration, but requires installing koreader on the device.

Yeah, I was hoping for something more integrated.

Me too. These things are supposed to make our lives easier, after all.

Tbh, I would pay the very modest fee for wallabag, but it doesn't integrate into my old kobo, so it's not super useful to me.

I assume there are other read it later services. It's too bad he doesn't talk about integrating with something like that.
