Now that Omnivore is selling out to ElevenLabs, what are you going to use for read-it-later syncing?

About Infoflow

Article workflow

In my opinion. I find it cleaner to keep it on another server instead of importing it into Logseq. The reason is that importing into Logseq would increase resources and further bloat the graph. I don’t think it is desirable to add more than my own writing to the graphs. I intend to move to Infoflow as Omnivore.app has declared the end of its service. The app is still in its development phase: the web-based version was released a month ago and is still undergoing frequent updates. (At the moment…

Still using Omnivore, however, I am self-hosting now. The only, minor issue currently is that the plugin is not updated yet to allow for custom url templates and still references to omnivore.app for the autogenerated link.

How are you self-hosting it? I thought it was all too tied up in certain other services for it to work, but did they finally sort that out?

I’ve recently discovered Readeck, which, like Omnivore/Logseq, is open source. It’s also self-hostable.

I haven’t really gotten started with it yet, but was wondering if anyone else has. There’s already an Obsidian plugin, but I’m not a developer and don’t know how involved it would be to get one working for Logseq.

I wanted to follow up here because I think I finally got things working as well as I want them to, with the added bonus that it includes a way to do the bulk of my reading on my eInk Android tablet.

I ended up setting up Wallabag on my home computer using Docker, and pointed my phone to it whenever I’m on the local network. I can save articles on the phone using Wallabag even when I’m not on the local network, and they just sync when I do connect to it.

Then, I’m using the Wallabag plugin for KOReader for the actual reading and highlighting–and then I worked with Codestral to whip up a little Python script that crawls through all my “metadata.epub.lua” files for all my epub books and the epubs Wallabag creates in KOReader, and directly updates their respective markdown files directly in my file system, keeping track of the last time I’ve run the script, so that the notes get pulled into their respective Logseq pages from the markdown files.

Is it kludgey AF? Yes. Is it working? Also yes. Do I finally have a way to save all my highlights and notes from almost everything I read, and I get to read them on my color eInk tablet? Yes.

And is all this vastly more complicated than Omnivore ever was and do I still kind of resent them? Lol yesssss. But I have a lot of confidence that Wallabag and KOReader have been around long enough that this should work for a good, long while.
