Hi everyone,
I used to use Omnivore plugin in Logseq.
Can you suggest me a good alternative just to read web articles in Logseq? (I Googled it but I prefer real Logseq user’s suggestions).
Thanks

I’m afraid I’ve not gotten to the point of testing out yet. But wallabag is an excellent app that I’ve been using generally and I believe there’s a way to synchronise it with logseq via plugin.
You can self host wallabag but the hosting is 11 pounds a year so in my mind it’s not worth it unless you already know exactly what you’re doing.
I will be trying out the wallabag plug-in at some point but if you get there first please share your thoughts.
The only problem is I don’t know that you could say that it’s readable from within logseq necessarily. As I say I haven’t tested it.

I ended up going with Wallabag, mostly because there’s a plugin for KOReader, which I use extensively on a color e-Ink reader that I love. I did end up just self-hosting it in Docker on my own system, because I’m fine with only syncing over my local network when I’m at home. I guess if I were really ambitious, I could get it set up with Headscale/Tailscale, but frankly, I’m home often enough that it’s not really worth worrying about it to me.
I can clip things to the Wallabag Android app when I’m away from home when I want, and they’ll sync to my Wallabag instance once I get home, and from there I can read them on the eReader. Best solution I have so far at least!

Heya that’s sounds pretty good. Agreed about not needing it to sync everywhere. Unless it’s a to-do list I find there’s a lot I simply don’t need everywhere.
Do you integrate it with Logseq at all? As in synchronising notes in some way? Or is that not so important to you?
I ended up using Mistral AI to write a Python script I run locally on my computer that goes through all the sidecar files that KOReader creates, which now includes my Wallabag articles. It gives each book/article its own page and then puts whatever highlights or notes I made on it under a heading with the date, so they’re all linked back to the respective journal pages. So, yes, my highlights and notes are making their way into Logseq, but kind of by the back door, since the script is updating the .md files directly through the file system, not through Logseq.
It’s so janky and my-use-case-specific that I don’t know that it would work for anybody else, but you can probably prompt your favorite AI through whipping up something that will work for you!
