From RSS to Bookmark Manager – how would you integrate?

Hi there,

I recently started hosting freshrss and I like it, but often my use case is “this looks interesting, I’ll take a look in the evening or on the weekend, I want to mark it and have it downloaded and stored somewhere and I’ll take a look at all of such marked items on the weekend.”

I would like to add a bookmark manager (ideally with some “archiving” feature) to my setup, so that I can also store/mark sites that I have not found with my rss feed. So I guess the bookmark manager should be the main source of “interesting stuff to look at on the weekend”, that I can add to by hand, via browser extension or from freshrss. And freshrss would only be the “sourcing step”.

Which bookmark manager would you choose and how would you do the integration? I would also be fine by coding it myself. Or would you recommend looking for an app that supports both and therefore that use case too? How are all of you doing it?

I am quite new to the space and don’t know a lot of tools yet.

Thanks in advance!

I don’t know about freshrss - I’ve used it a few years ago - but miniflux (another self hosted RSS reader) has integrations with a lot of tools, some of which are bookmark managers. I’ve set up mine with Linkding and it woks just as you described.

Gonna check this out, thanks for exposing me to new tech

FreshRSS has some too: freshrss.github.io/…/08_sharing_services.html

Wallabag is nice - it’s making an archive of the page you’re saving and I think you can export it as pdf/epub to read it on any device.

Thank you, I’ll give it a shot

wallabag.it can publish your read-it-laters to RSS

But OP wants it the other way around

It sounds like what they ultimately want is one place to look at both read-it-later stuff and starred RSS articles. My read is that they are proposing one way to do it, but ultimately it’s not super workable that way. There are no clients I know of that are both RSS clients and read-it-later clients (using pocket, wallabag, or anything else).

If OP wants one place to see both, their best bet is to find a read-it-later server that can generate RSS feeds, subscribe to those, and now everything is RSS and behaves the same. Wallabag is a great option for that and is self-hostable.

This is exactly what I do and it works great.

Thanks for the idea, I’ll give this a shot too.

Your browser should have bookmarks, watchlist. Alternatively if you don’t want to stray far from rss try “rsstodolist”.

linkding.link is what you’re looking for.

Use the bookmarklet or FF/Chrome extension on a page and it saves it to your server to look at later. Add tags, folders, whatever. You can setup newly added links to be un-archived, and old links to be archived, or basically however you want.

Does this create the snapshot from the pages in the browser or on the server? If I want to save a page I can only see logged in, does that work?

This is what I use Readeck for. Snapshots of news articles, with the bonus feature of public links to share with friends.

Xanza@lemm.ee on 29 Mar 23:43 collapse

It does neither. It doesn’t create snapshots of pages at all… It’s a bookmark manager.

tja@sh.itjust.works on 29 Mar 23:57 collapse

Why then does it have this listed under features?

Because it has integrations for The Internet Archive: x0.at/Wny_.png

It says “local html” but I have a feeling it simply grabs a copy from the internet archive. I can’t even find where its storing these copies with it enabled.

linkwarden.app

I’ve been meaning to install linkwarden to replace using Firefox bookmarks, I haven’t tried it yet but looks great

You could probably use Hoarder and tag the links with “read later”.
