Omnivore alternatives?
I created an Omnivore account recently and I started to love it. I thought to self-host it but I didn't have enough time and thought I'd host it later.
I (along with everyone else presumably) got this email today:
We’re excited to share that Omnivore is joining forces with ElevenLabs, the leading AI audio research and technology company. Our team is joining ElevenLabs to help drive the future of accessible reading and listening with their new ElevenReader app.
Next, all Omnivore users will be able to export their information from the service through November 15 2024, after which all information will be deleted.
Though it is quite frustrating, I will not go further in my opinion of this move.
I would just like to let the community know that I'm in the market for an alternative for this... or maybe some help how to self-host it. I don't even know if it will be easy to self-host or if it will be worth it, presumably without updates...
Wallabag is gonna be your best bet if you want to self host an alternative. My understanding of Omnivore's self hosted option is that it's quite finicky and relies on a bunch of third party services anyways (This is just what I've gathered through research - I have no experience with it myself!)
Thanks, I'm trying it out now!
I've since deployed Wallabag on my VPS and downloaded / installed compatible iPhone apps to read.
I am trying a setup where I have FreshRSS to collect the feeds and Wallabag to bag the articles I'm interested in. Dunno if that would work.
I use nextcloud so i just use nextcloud bookmarks (simple link saving thing) and nextcloud news (RSS reader).
