getoffpocket.com, my guide to Pocket alternatives, just got a redesign
Find the perfect Pocket alternative that works for you. Compare features, pricing, and hosting options.
I previously posted this at https://lemmy.world/post/30816595
I really appreciate all the feedback from the community! I haven't had time to address everything yet, but I thought I'd share the redesign as I continue to make this a useful tool for everyone who needs to find a new home for their articles. For anyone who saw the old version, I think you'll agree it has come a long way!
You're viewing a single thread.
Edit:
this site is mostly ads now
- Only 4 of the original 22 options are still on the homepage
- Two (50%) are hosted via sponsor CloudBreak
- One (25%) is hosted via sponsor Sunya
- The "get started" links mostly (75%) point to Stripe checkout pages
OP, is this a joke?
Sponsored, using affiliate links and accepting donations? Somebody better fork this guide before the GitHub gets yanked
Edit: Okay, after looking around at this, something seems... off. Linking to
getoffpocket.com?by=lemmywas odd already, but then I noticed that every single service here appears to have a referral link. Even the OneNote link has a referral code stapled onto it:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/onenote/digital-note-taking-app?rby=getoffpocket.com%2Fproprietary%2Fmicrosoft-onenote%2FFor some reason, those same UTM links are used for everything, including links to GitHub?
How about no extra query parameters at all?I'm also surprised there's not even a passing mention to Obsidian and Evernote.
I think I'll stick to searching out my own recs on AlternativeTo
Yeah I'm sketched out that it shows only paid monthly subscription options even for open source self hosted options that you probably don't need to pay a penny for

Yep I knew it would be about this, anything for a buck, I wonder how much he made from these links
It takes a lot of effort to make something like this. I appreciate any support people are willing to provide so I can continue improving it.
You have some good feedback. Thanks for taking the time to provide it.
I've made some updates. There are many perspectives to view a guide like this. I hope there are some improvements to the self-hosting perspective. https://getoffpocket.com/
