[Package]: readeck

[bramaudi]

Why is it worth to add this package?

It should be a good open-source and self-host alternative to Mozilla's GetPocket, Wallabag, and any other similar software, I'm aware something like monolith exists to save web pages but this has UI.

Why choose readeck? it simple, not bloated, can be used from single executable binary means easy to setup, and probably smaller compared to the other.

Its just a plain bookmark manager Better off using buku Nothing like delicious instapaper etc

without extension it will be pretty useless due to cors and other issues it only saves links , better use browsers own bookmark manager

I don't know the detail but everything is work fine when you compile / build it instead using the official provided binaries.

Never know that it can be run using proot like proot ./readeck serve, yeah it run but network would fail, but if you compile yourself then just run ./readeck serve then it should be fine.

I even often use it without extension and it still usable no issue appeared, it kinda redundant to use extension thought since you mostly need to open the readeck instance when want to read something.

it only saves links , better use browsers own bookmark manager

yes, but not entirely true, not only save link but this save the whole article content, good for archiving & preserving in case of dead link, it also have EPUB export feature which I loved, recently I just make an e-book from multiple bookmark links.

UPDATE: now they added reading progress bar so you can see continue reading from your last position.
