These are both essentially selfhosted replacements for Pocket.

Anyone try them and have experiences to share? The feature set seems similar.

    I have no experience with Wallabag, but I have been pretty happy with Readeck. Skimming through Wallabag’s documentation, I would say they are pretty similar, while both have unique features. For example, Wallabag has annotations (you can only highlight in Readeck), and Android and iOS apps; whereas Readeck can export collections to eBooks, has RSS feeds for pretty much anything (all articles, unread, archives, collections, etc.) and its browser extension allows to only save part of a page (by selecting it first) and to directly send the page content to your instance (which is useful when saving paywalled content)

      Wallabag has the same RSS features and can export to several formats, epub included, but the annotation system is only supported in the web interface. Even the official android app doesn’t support it. No Wallabag client on any platform supports self signed certs so forget about anything but web UI if you run it on a closed LAN.

      Because according to the devs it’s more secure to run a public facing server with a CA backed cert that on a closed LAN which I VPN into with a self-signed cert. Even a toggle to allow it is too dangerous.

      The RSS feeds aspect of Readdeck is a really nice feature! Looks like they both can send from the browser directly (for paywalls).

      I wonder if anyone could make a version of this with Bypass paywalls clean baked in for convenience.
