What's your Pocket replacement? Wallabag, Hoarder or something else?

reading an article if it's interesting and moving on if it's not :~^)

seriously though, i have struggled with tab/bookmark hoarding, it's a huge relief when you recognize it for what it is and quit. IME the bigger/dustier the backlog gets the more vague psychological guilt accumulates, a weight which isn't truly recognized until it's gone.

I have moved to Instapaper for now.

I tried Wallabag and ended on Instapaper (again, I think I moved from IP -> Pocket originally). Just didn't get on with the UI / general experience of Wallabag, IP is more attuned to my polished style preferences I guess

As a fellow tab/bookmark (and sessionstore.json and other extension-based export) hoarder, I wonder if our lives could be helped by LLM curation and organization of this mess. Like vague queries against this backlog, like is there anything related to XYZ topic or aspect in the pile? What's the overall composition of this heap of links? How does this composition change over time? Can we plot a 2D scatterplot of all the links with proximity based on semantic/topical similarity?

Or maybe we just need to learn how to prioritize better? Or do some kind of stagewise workflow where the superficial ingestion/collection is followed by multiple steps of culling the less relevant stuff (but still without real deletion, just in case for later). Or perhaps we could now write a sentence of why we think the link may be relevant and what future event or future state of some project or development might make this link gain in relevance again? And then again we could declare that this has happened and what are now the links that are relevant?

I could see some LLM product in this space, but I think this market is fairly niche.

Personally I don't mind Wallabag's, well, barebones interface, and having recently jailbroken my Kindle I think its integration with KOReader is its real killer app. I've found the EPUB conversion works really well (modulo some timeout issues on _very_ heavy pages) and it automatically marks articles as read when you sync with the server.

Moved to Wallabag, but note that I don't read anything via Wallabag (or Pocket) UI. I export saved items as an RSS feed which I consume in an RSS reader like Inoreader or FreshRSS.

I'd like a fixed-sized queue of 10 links. Adding one more kicks the oldest and it can be only read as strict first-in-first-out.
