Wallabag, I like it.

wallabag (formerly poche) is a self hostable application for saving web pages. Unlike other services, wallabag is free (as in freedom) and open source.

With this application you will not miss content anymore. Click, save, read it when you want. It saves the content you select so that you can read it when you have time.

Thanks to the bookmarklet or third-party applications, you save an article in your wallabag to read it later. Then, when you open your wallabag, you can comfortably read your articles.

I've recently started using this. They have an android app which has offline sync, so now when I have no network I do have a boatload of articles to read (ars technica for example)...

It is self hosted, easy to set up, the data stays in your control. Plus, open source. I thought some LET members might be interested in this.

    This is what many open source minds use this days. It's good solution. If you don't want to use your own VPS you have http://www.framabag.org/. It's free.

    Well, one question. Is Wallabag downloads all the contents of a web or it just bookmarks it like delicio.us or Sitebar does?

    It downloads the content, parses it and dumps all the cruft. It is not just a bookmarker. It even works offline on Android.

  • Very nice :)

    Yep,

    Few hours after i posted link here (http://www.framabag.org/), site was down. I guess people like sharing and this small hosted project didn't know that a lot of new users will come one day.

    EDIT: Back online!

  • Overwhelmed by the attention I think :-)

    Seems to be the first time LET actually brings a service down... Excluding summer hosts...

    When you posted link i was one of the first to share over few communities, and i guess a lot of people from LET did same thing. I have my bookmarks with 20000+ links from 2002 i think so, sometime it's my personal "Google" search when i need to find some answer or help other people.

    I think we have an application image for this for our dedicated servers, but never tried it. Will take a look. I have been using pocket
