Looking for a app/service to save webpages

Problem: I scroll on lemmy, I talk to friends, I see some interesting page, project, funny meme or something else. (when I was on reddit i pressed SAVE, when I was on Instagram I pressed PIN (or something) and now I’m stuck with (uncategorised) information all over the place.

My current idea is: push everything to Telegram group where my bot listens, take the URL, maybe even extract some data and save it somewhere. 90% of my input will be over the phone but here and there also PC.

Any suggestions for self-hosted service to dump data in our (even better) to even skip whole bot part altogether?

UPDATE: Maybe I was a bit unclear. I want to “save” URLs and also somehow tag/categorize them. So I think plain bookmarks won’t cut it, also flow is important (on mobile), switching copy/paste is to much hassle.

kool_newt,

There’s a Firefox extension called SingleFile that’s great for saving/archiving entire web pages.

BlackPenguins,

Reminds me of the days of Stumbleupon when you could save webpages. Isn’t what you’re talking about just bookmarks? You would need a URL so it’d have to be in a browser anyway.

@mwalker789 Are you looking to create a "to read later" list, or to save the content to disk? Pinning and saving is like the former but your ideas about a telegram bot suggest the latter.

If it is more on the archiving side, here is a short list to get you started https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Web-Archiving-Community

You want a "read it later" service, like Omnivore or Wallabag.

Another vote for Omnivore. It syncs great into Obsidian also.

What is your workflow if you find something on mobile and you want to save it to omnivore?

You share it to the Omnivore app. Couldn’t be easier.

It does neat things like unfolds Twitter threads also.

I use Joplin Firefox extension. One click and i can save page as a text/HTML/image/link into my Joplin notebook. You can sync with your own server, with NextCloud, with Joplin paid cloud and with something else. Great FOSS app.

@mwalker789 I used ArchiveBox for a while and I really liked it. --> https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox

Not selfhosted but I think Pocket also falls into that category of service.

ghostermonster,

Wallabag is nice, you share a link and it archives it’s content like in reader view.

TrenchcoatFullofBats,

You can also add tags that are searchable

Ekpu,

Yes Wallabag is awesome. I use a selfhosted instance and share articles from my phone or my desktop computer via extension. On my work Computer i just copy the URL and add it to wallabag because i don’t want to install the browser extension on my work computer.

peregus,

I’Ve installed it on my VPS (with Docker) some days ago and I’m loving it! It can save the content of the page, you can add tags, it has Firefox extension (maybe Chrome too, but please, please, please don’t use Chrome!) and an Android app too!!!

Dwarvy,

I have yet to find a way to do this on my phone, but on my pc I use the Joplin note taking app with the web clipper extension. Joplin is also available for smartphones, but I don’t think the webclipper is.

You can select part of a webpage, or even the whole page, and have it saved into Joplin. You can create notebooks for certain categories or add tags to make searching stuff more easy.

I sync it using nextcloud, but that’s a bit more work to set up.

use… bookmarks? And if it’s a concern that the pages you want to bookmark might disappear, you can use something like wallabag: github.com/wallabag/wallabag
