As written in the title, wallabag is a self-hosted read-it-later web application (like Pocket or Instapaper, but open-source) that saves content from webpages. You can organize content and sync it on different devices. We were kindly invited (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10904805) by HN to do a Show HN, and hope you'll be interested in our project.
For the last few months, we've been working on a whole new version of our application (v2), and it sound very promising. We've just launched a new alpha version for you to test on your server : https://www.wallabag.org/blog/2016/01/22/wallabag-alpha2-v2. You can also have a preview at http://v2.wallabag.org/
If you're not willing to play adventurous, you can still give a try to old version 1.9.1 or choose our hosting service at https://framabag.org/
Just an FYI: in the blog post you mention that the login for the preview of v2 is wallabag/wallabag, however I get 'bad credentials' when trying that.
This new Material Design version looks awesome! Eagerly looking forward to v2 becoming stable so I can upgrade.
Is there a page explaining the main differences between 1.x and 2.x? (since "whole new version" suggests there is more behind it than just more features)
And it's rewritten from scratch.
That is, it does not at all identify where it came from. The example.org sender is particularly odd, I don't know why you're doing that?
I look forward to trying the new version. Does it handle HN posts now? The last time I tried to bag an HN post with the old version it failed :)
I have been using wallabag recipes for a while, saving an otherwise expensive diffbot subscription.
I did look at it a little bit a few months ago, and decided it wasn't a weekend project for me. It took me a little bit to rediscover why, but I think something like the current doc on [Network Access][] is what discouraged me: "By default, Sandstorm runs each app instance with no network access ... Supported protocol: SMTP (email), Other protocols: Work in progress."
[Network Access]: https://docs.sandstorm.io/en/latest/developing/#network-acce...
However, since Firefox added reader view, I find I don't use services like this any longer. I was a very longtime Instapaper user and then also used Readability.com, but now I just bookmark pages I like (and/or save them to Android Firefox's reading list).
The biggest likely legal concern is possible accidental server DDOS, but as long as it respects robots.txt and it paces itself, that shouldn't happen.
Seems fixed now, though the name appears as "wallabag¬" - not sure if the last character is deliberate? (Hint: even if it is, it looks like it isn't, which might not be what you want!)
Better to error if not set, let the dev explicitly put in some dummy values that's ever desired - that's why I said above "not sure why you're doing this", I assumed it was a setting of yours, not a '[neglect-to-]setting'!
