Mozilla to shut down Pocket on July 8

So your app will also import the archived copies from Pocket? It's mainly about importing archived content from links that might now be dead.

No, unfortunately their API doesn't return the actual html content of the saved articles :( just the urls and all the metadata: highlights, title, author, image, tags, location, etc

I really wish they did :/ some things aren't even on the internet archive and are probably saved uniquely on Pocket's servers. Would be sweet if they could open source that data.

Would be awesome if your app could scrape the actual pocket pages.

I'd sign up for a paid version of yours if it had that feature. But I'm not sure how many others premium users would do the same.

something these other apps could do is run dead URLs through archive.org and nab it that way.

Not 100% foolproof but I'm willing to bet it will work for the majority of links
