Still a work in progress, but even at this stage, I hope it can help you and anyone you know who has been affected by the Pocket shutdown.

    Love the list, just a quick callout, these are pretty resource light services for self hosting, even $5/month seems like a stretch.

    If you’re already running a server, the added overhead for a bookmark manager has got to be fractional watts, especially of you’re not bookmarking constantly.

    If you’re doing a standalone server just for this, these can more than likely be hosted on a Raspberry Pi which uses 5W under load (maybe $1/mo under heavy load), and are incredibly lean when idle (pennies/month).

    I do think your post does a good job making people think about the hidden costs of self hosting, but done right self hosting energy can be greatly reduced

    I would love to see one, and please tell me if I missed it in the list, that keeps bookmarks in a git repo. I don’t need the read it later aspect just the link.

    Thank you to everyone who commented! I’m digesting all of what has been said and will be adjusting the guide as I can. If you’re able, donations are welcome! (See link on the site)

    Thanks for this. I was already using Inoreader (with a Supporter subscription) and they made it easy to grab my Pocket content.

    Now the only thing I need to figure out is what I’ll do as a replacement to the Kobo + Pocket integration.

    I could be missing something but I never see Karakeep when the pocket shutdown is being mentioned. I’m curious ppl don’t know or don’t like karakeep?
