I've been working on a guide to Pocket alternatives

https://getoffpocket.com/self_hosted

The link is the view for people who like to self-host. I'm also hoping to guide people who would never self-host to using open source tech. I'm a big proponent of that myself. I switched to Wallabag quite some time ago.

It would be cool if there was a table to compare them with, since right now you'd have to open each of them to check.

Thank you for putting it together though!

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?

Being able to compare between options would help me pick which one I want to use :)

Alternatively, a way to filter the full list would be helpful. That way I can select the items that I need and see everything that has what I need.

This for example:

I'll look into that. Thanks!

I would agree. If you are going to cite alternatives, an easy to read comparison chart would be very helpful.

There is no link and you should list them anyways. As it stands, this is click bait without the click.

Thanks for the feedback. I just added the link to the description.

You can add an image to the thumbnail field to get the best of both options :)

I understand that. It's quite a popular place in the selfhosting/homelabbing/opensource world.

Holy shit you actually covered my use case perfectly (pocket+kobo > koreader+wallabag)! Thanks for putting this together, it is great.

Pockets like a bookmark synchronizer essentially?

Does it do anything that signing into Firefox does not?

Offline reading and organizing for starters

Ah very cool, thank you.
