I’ve been enjoying using the premium Pocket service for the last few years but recently heard about Wallabag as an open source alternative. I pay $30 per annum for Pocket mainly so I have permanent access to archived content (unless Pocket shuts down of course), I can do full text search, and Pocket suggests tags I can use.
I found Wallabag could do all this for me for free though as well as a few extras that I explain in the video such as advanced filtering, annotations, and of course it is available to me as long as I keep my own hosting service going. Wallabag lets you save articles from various desktop browsers as well as Android and iOS devices.
There is a paid Wallbag hosting service at $10 per annum for anyone who does not want to self-host but remember that with self-hosting you can run Wallabag, Nextcloud, a website, a photo album site and more all at the same monthly hosting cost.
