What features were missing? I can only think of offline reading.

Linkding is basically a reading list with some extra features like downloading an arching copy , notes, and tags.

I think of Wallabag and Readeck as readers since they render the page in “app” , keep track of your reading progress, and in some cases let you highlight text

I’m in process of trying different tools.

I broke requirements down to 3 use cases

Links I visit often (general bookmarks) Links I visit once( read later) Links I preserve forever (offline storage)

And here I thought I was the only person who used that service.

RIP Apple Ping.

It met the same fate as Facebook Ping.

I tried readeck and missed being able to download pages for offline storage. Also , the interface is confuse as when you mark and article as “read” , it still appears in the “unread” view. You have to archive a page to remove it from Unread.

The dev knows about it, but hasn’t fixed it yet.

The app was easy on install and it looks nice, but it needs some work.

Removing DRM became essential after my Amazon account was compromised . After hours on the phone with Amazon customer support proving I was the account owner, I gave up and created a new account.

They didn’t give me any way to keep my digital assets.I lost over a decade of ebook and audiobook purchases!

Now I won’t buy anything unless I can remove the DRM from it.

Good point. I mostly buy fiction or self improvement/productivity books. Technology can work if it’s not application specific like a book design patterns for software.

if it’s about how to use MS Word, a google search or youtube video will probably tell me what I need to know.

Thanks! I was familiar with RTO since my employer is doing it by gradually increasing required # days in the office.

But not everyone will know what it is .

I can’t load the article on mobile Chrome. Is there a link to the non-payall/account walled version?

You are not alone! I’m an ardent self-hoster.
