My pocket subscription renewal is coming up. After 8-10years of using pocket, I'll not be renewing it anymore. It was a decent product that just got worse over time and I just don't see them improving it anymore. Pinboard was a decent alternative but now that's not an option anymore. I'll be checking out the third newer option, raindrop I think.

theres wallabag as well. don't know how it compares but it also has a self hosted version if you are into that kind of thing

Wallabag the server is ok, not amazing at rendering webpages to be readable, and article thumbnail view needs work.

The browser plugins are the nightmare (Chrome comes to mind) You need to manually generate an API key and configure it in the browser. The process is very confusing, and too much work to configure on multiple machines with multiple browsers. The plug-ins are written by different developers, all open source as a hobby, so I while I think the effort is admirable and I hope it continues, it is still a beta experience.
