    - people who are privileged enough to never have experienced multiple days without an internet connection.

    it’s a shame to see it go, it’s been the first read-it-later service that I was aware of and used. I’ve moved away to Omnivore (RIP) and then Wallabag (https://wallabag.it/ for 11€/year, but you can self-host it or find someone else to host it for you for a lower fee), but I’ve still been thinking fondly of it, despite Mozilla clearly trying to force people into social reading rather than just serve as a convenient offline storage of articles.

    edit: this post isn’t a request for advice, I’m very happy with my current Wallabag setup.

      I have, and if you need an SaaS for that, I am sorry for you. Pocket was great for getting around paywalls for a while.

      Why would you need a saas solution if it’s for offline reading? Seems like a contradiction

        …so that you can read it on a device other than the one you’ve initially opened the link on? I can save a link to Wallabag from my laptop’s browser at home, have my e-reader sync it, and then read it offline while on a train.
