Found out today that #Raindrop is adding an #LLM from #OpenAI that can read your bookmarks :/
As a result, I'll probably be migrating off of it and onto something else (maybe #Instapaper ?)
Until then, I found you can turn off the AI under Settings -> App -> Ask AI
A new blog post about #Instapaper and reading news on my #kobo https://blog.cammurphy.com/2026/01/25/rss-to-kobo.html #rss #inoreader
So I had a ton of articles pending to read in getpocket and never exported them out, sadly I lost them. I was looking for native replacements for my Kindle Fire 8 since it had a native pocket app and there was none. Amazon app store is mediocre so I ended up installing the Google Play Store and installed #Instapaper. So far, so good!
You'd think me, being a software engineer would be thrilled to be tinkering with my devices but far from it; nowadays I just want things to work.
Instapaper ogranicza wysyłkę na Kindle! 🔥
Od 19 lutego automatyczna wysyłka artykułów z Instapaper na czytniki Kindle będzie dostępna tylko w wersji Premium. 45 USD za pierwszy rok.
Sprawdziłem, jakie są alternatywy i czy da się korzystać bez subskrypcji.
Au Revoir, Tumblr
> Thanksfully, AI made this a lot easier and accelerated the process. With a handful of prompts, I was able to get the entire migration and modernization done in just 2-3 days. Without AI, I think this easily could’ve taken me a few weeks to accomplish something similar and likely not as good.

I'm also exploring per-highlight block identifiers, which Obsidian uses to cross-link to specific blocks within notes.
https://help.obsidian.md/links#Link+to+a+block+in+a+note
These also give us an unambiguous way to detect existing (sync'ed) highlights within a note. I was previously relying on embedded hyperlinks for that.
I'm back to working on the Instapaper Obsidian plugin. Our most requested feature is customizable templates. I've started my making the article properties ("frontmatter") user-configurable.

Well. Weeks/months after the total shutdown of #pocket, and migrating to other services, I notice that I don't consume my reading list anymore.
I've switched to #raindrop but it's not a read later tool. #instapaper could be, but apart from Kobo integration, it's not super usable tbh.
Part of this is me missing my own #inmypocket addon, but also imperfect alternatives. Not sure what I'll do next. Reboot the addon? Start yet another service? Contribute to open-source and self-host? 🤷♂️
While I was not looking Mozilla has killed Pocket (aka. "read later") without having sent me a notice and now my data is gone (not that I had a lot).
Since Pocket was one of the main reasons I bought a Kobo ebook reader this spring, I'm somewhat annoyed.
But Kobo replaced Pocket with Instapaper, where I apparently even have an account I have not used since 2012 :D

Whoa, my #Kobo eBook reader was offline for so long, I've missed some quality of life updates. Progress bar, dark mode (I believe this is new), and they've replaced #Pocket with #Instapaper. And - the update didn't ruin the sideloaded hyphenation for Bulgarian books niiice 🫠
Instapaper very good at avoiding token account logins.
#Instapaper
dear #apple, listen up, very carefully: i don’t want my #iphone to fold (or unfold). i don’t want it to transform into an #ipad – that’s a bad direction. #iphone should stay thin, pockety, simple. it’s supposed to disappear in your hand, not unfold into something clumsy.
but #ipad… oh, that’s a different story. i want my 11″ #ipad to grow. to open up. imagine this: you use the small one on the #bus, on the go, #reading, #sketching, #scrolling. then you sit down in a #coffee place, and it unfolds – smoothly, beautifully – into a big one. 14, maybe 15 inches. a full workspace. a writing desk. a creative field.
#iphone should stay what it is: the quick, smart tool in motion.
#ipad should become what it wants to be: a #screen that expands with your space.
maybe #apple should stop trying to make the #iphone bigger
and start making the #ipad expand.
i already live somewhere between these two worlds. i have three ipads, and i love every one of them. the mini – not the latest version – is my pocket #ipad. perfect for evenings, checking #rss feeds, #reading on #instapaper, sometimes even #writing short #blog posts.
the eleven-inch pro (with m2) is my travel #ipad – i’m actually #writing this post on it right now. it’s also my #imac companion, my everything-device when i’m away. if i had to choose just one, this would probably be the one. it’s perfect.
and then there’s the air – the 13-inch one. oh my god, i love this device. i love working with it in cafes, love #writing on it at #home, listening to #podcasts in the #morning while i make #coffee – even though its speakers are worse than the pro’s.
each #ipad has its own place in my #life. i love them all.
but the minimalistic me says it’s too much.
and i know i’ll have to let one go someday. i just don’t know which one. it’s going to be hard.
so please, #apple – make that foldable #ipad next year.
don’t make me choose.
wrapped it with bits to pick at #Random either #Instapaper-Liked or 1 of 3 different book-list files.
After 8 years I'm finally back on Instapaper. Still had my old account.
Remember I was looking into Pocket alternatives a while ago?
Turns out Rakuten Kobo has released an update to my 10 year old device (!) that adds Instapaper support. Yes Instapaper is still proprietary etc, but the fact they did this for such an old device and didn't abandon them entirely after a few years probably makes them better than 90% of hardware companies.
I have a #kobo #ereader. I didn't use pocket on it, but when the support for it was discontinued, I had a look at it and it seemed useful. So I looked at alternatives, Kobo decided to provide support for #instapaper. I didn't want to use proprietary service for my bookmarks. #koreader supported some selhostable open source services like #wallbag and #readeck. So I installed #koreader and deployed a #readeck instance, configured the OPDS catalog to #koereader and it seems wonderful! I can enjoy reading my catalog on a good #ereader. 🥳
I truly love that #kobo partnered with #Instapaper . Now , I can read those long bulky newsletters as if they were books!
