The Pocket app on my iPhone was automatically updated to the latest version.
I haven't seen a jankier scroll since maybe Android 4.0 in 2011.
Everything is slow and jumping all over the place.
@mttvll The "best" thing is that from version 8 they remove highlights from the iOS app. It will come in the future. Literally the only feature for what I paid a year plan 🙄
@wiredfire does @omnivore save a permanent record of your saved links? In the event that the page is deleted for example. That’s the one thing Pocket (premium) has had over competitors
@wiredfire@benmounseywood yeah not exposed in the UI at all but add /original to the end of an article URL and you can see the archived original content
@benmounseywood@wiredfire it does not but we do pull images through the proxy and they are cached there but no guarantees on images. We really should improve that and offer guarantees
@omnivore@benmounseywood I don’t think there’s any “should” about it. Omnivore is an open source project, and given omnivore.app is offered up totally free of charge you don’t owe us a damn thing! Quite the reverse 😁 Just keep being the brilliant bunch of humans that you are.
@benmounseywood@omnivore ah I don’t believe so. Alternatives I could suggest for that aspect are raindrop.io, an excellent bookmarking service with a “permanent library” feature in its premium offering. At a pinch there’s always throwing a link at archive.org for safekeeping too, somewhat less graceful though.
Omnivore also integrates with Logseq and Obsidian both of which I expect could be used to store perm copies of articles, not tried it myself though.
@benmounseywood I really like raindrop. It’s not a read it later app, to be fair, but having all my collected bookmarks in something not tied to this or that browser is great.
@mttvll not even specific to iOS, Pocket as a service is on a steep downward trajectory. @dcseifert has been covering their missteps and they’re really starting to pile up.
