Why is Pocket discontinuing Pocket for Mac?

Incredible explanation. Btw, Omnivore is a great open source alternative with a macOS app for anyone needing to migrate somewhere.
Thanks for the tip on Omnivore. I'm now down the rabbit hole and thinking to using it and using the Obsidian or logseq plugin to get everything into one place.
Good to hear! The Obsidian plugin has worked great for me so far. It really simplifies note taking.
I use the Logseq plugin and can confirm it works as expected, don't recall any particular roadblocks but feel free to message me if you do happen to hit any
That looks pretty cool! Especially since it looks like they're recently been working on docs for self hosting it. The obsidian integration also looks really interesting - I need to get better at actually using obsidian as a "second brain" rather than just a glorified TODO list haha.
I'll add Wallabag as a very nice self-hostable alternative, although it doesn't offer a Mac app either. I know Omnivore can technically be self-hosted as well but at least last I checked documentation was basically non-existent.
If Mozilla open sourced it years ago like they promised, it could be picked up by someone else.
Exactly what people predicted would happen when Apple released iOS app support for Apple Silicon Macs. Why develop a separate app when people can just install the touch-optimized version?
What an absolute bullshit of an explanation. I hate this. Just be honest and say it's not worth it.
don’t they have a web app?
The service is still going on, right? And don't they have a PWA?
