Zero support options

No, not for getting it setup — that went fine, thanks. But I updated the app three days ago and since then no saved article will open. They don’t respond to clicking in the app (or, they sometimes kind of flash white as if they’ll open, and I can hold to add to favourites, but they won’t actually open). It was working fine before the update.

But who can I turn to for support? The app here sends me to the original, and now archived, GitHub page. I posted on the new GitHub page and there has been no reply. I would like to actually continue using this app, I do believe you developed it so that if could be used 😒

Where is the share?

It is missing from the share menu on iOS 18.7

takes a bit thought...

...to set up but seems to work well. let's see how we get along!

Basic to the point of broken?

1. I can't add articles on iOS via share sheets to my self-hosted instance; it works via browser on Mac/PC

"wallabag can't retrieve contents for this article. Please troubleshoot this issue."

Searching for a fix, it seems that the app's article parsing engine doesn't fail back to the server's parser if there's an error, and instead defaults to the error message.

2. The app doesn't let me filter by tags. I hope I'm just missing how to interact with this, but I cannot find it. The default app is so feature-limited, I've switched to using ReadKit to read my Wallabag articles.

It Works!

The interface is a little weird at first. But it works and I really like it. Keep up the good work

FAQ

What does Wallabag Reader do?

Wallabag Reader is an application designed to save web pages for later reading. It functions as a client for a self-hostable wallabag instance, allowing you to store and access articles and web content offline.

How do I use Wallabag Reader?

To use Wallabag Reader, you need to have a running instance of wallabag. This can be a self-hosted installation on your own web server. The app then connects to this instance to save and retrieve your web pages.

Is Wallabag Reader free?

The core wallabag application is free and open source. While the reader app itself may have in-app purchases for managing subscriptions, the underlying service is designed to be cost-free to use if you self-host it.

What are the benefits of using wallabag?

Wallabag offers a free and open-source alternative to proprietary read-it-later services. Its self-hostable nature provides greater control over your data and privacy, and it's free from the restrictions of commercial platforms.

Can I use Wallabag Reader without a wallabag instance?

No, Wallabag Reader requires a separate, running instance of wallabag to function. It acts as an interface to your personal wallabag server, so you must set up and maintain your own instance to save and read content.
