Self hosted freedom :-)

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 😒

We apologize for the inconvenience; we have just released the emergency fix, and everything is back to normal. We sincerely apologize again.

Application propriétaire

Cette app était le client officiel et était sous licence libre. C'est maintenant une app propriétaire intégrant des services IA. Je ne recommande donc pas, pour toutes les raisons éthiques évidentes.

Response from developer

Bonjour, Merci d'avoir pris le temps de partager vos réflexions. Nous comprenons vos préoccupations concernant le changement de statut de l'application et l'intégration de services basés sur l'IA et cela fait plus d’un an si vous suiviez le projet. Votre opinion est importante pour nous, et nous prenons en compte les retours de notre communauté pour améliorer nos services.

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.
