DIY/Self-hosted RSS triage, RiL, and bookmarks
#Wallabag seems to run a lot better than it used to the last time I self-hosted it. Linkding is as good as it was the last time. So I’ve got a full self-hosted reading stack:
- The RSS triager
- Lets me set good/bad topics
- Lets me block, downweight, or upweight authors
- Lets me block, downweight, or upweight topics
- Learns from my “starred” links
- Uses weighting and scoring to filter feeds and and serve them via the Fever API
- Automatically passes high-scoring articles through to my RiL service
- Wallabag for RiL (Replaces any/all of Readwise, Pocket, Instapaper)
- Starred in Wallabag passes the link through to the permanent link saving service
- Decent web app, iPhone app, and looking forward to trying out its Android app on the Boox
- Linkding for my long-term links archive
- Replaces pinboard.in
- Has a handy search injection sidebar – see what you’ve already bookmarked alongside new search results
- Understands the classic bookmarks.html format
- High quality iOS app
The triager is mine because nothing does quite what I want there. feedly tries to, but why pay for something less reliable and less tailored than what I could make for myself?
The RiL service is fungible. I considered going back to Instapaper or just hanging on to Readwise, but I don’t need to. The bookmarking service is fungible, too. I’ve just had good luck with Linkding. Both come with nice mobile apps and a number of extensions, etc. that I don’t have to make for myself.
