wallabag
Read-later service that extracts articles into a personal reading and archival library.
Meet wallabag
wallabag saves articles in a cleaner reading format, reducing dependence on the layout and distractions of the original page. It is designed for building a reading queue and retaining useful text rather than simply storing a list of website addresses.
The software can be self-hosted, or users can purchase hosting from wallabag.it. An ecosystem of apps and readers supports additional workflows, but specific clients and their maintenance status should be checked separately from the server itself.
