Sorry, it's not available via the Aurora store. I'm going to do another release tonight – I'll make sure India is enabled in the Play Store. I don't think there are any limitations on the Firefox Add-on:

We don't have a public API yet. When things stabilize, we definitely will!

Yes, that's the plan! We have the beginnings of this today. Excited to make it a lot better over time.

Not yet, but it's high on the list! Which e-reader do you use?

Thanks, good feedback!

It's React Native which has been great. Still some work to do to make things really nice on large screens but overall a great experience.

Yes, we copy the content. We store both the original HTML and a copy of the extracted text as markdown. The text is what is synced to your device.

I’ve been working on my own Pocket replacement for the past few months. I was the head of product at Pocket in 2018/19, and ever since I left, I’ve had this itch to build my own version. Mozilla shutting it down finally gave me the excuse I needed.

Folio lets you save articles from anywhere, has a lovely reading view, lets you listen to articles with some really nice text-to-speech voices, and access all your saves offline across all of your devices. If you enjoyed Pocket, you'll feel right at home! It’s still early days but all the core features are solid and working well.

Pocket imports are available via their API (though it’s been a little flaky lately), and I’m wrapping up file imports from Pocket, Instapaper, Matter, Raindrop, and Readwise so it should be easy to make the switch really soon.

Lots of fun stuff planned ahead. I’d love to have you join us if you’re looking for a new home!

And don't forget about nightly: http://nightly.mozilla.org/

The good news is that it works great in the browser, so it should work really well in Ubuntu. We support desktop notifications in Chrome and Firefox. The desktop app is based on Chromium so it should be fairly trivial to get it working on Linux in the not too distant future.

Thanks! It's Backbone.js on the front-end (with lots of help from the amazing strophe.js), Rails for the REST API, node.js for lots of supporting services, ejabberd for XMPP, and MySQL for storage. It's one of those problems that seemed like it was going to be simple to solve and then wasn't (as usual) so there are quite a few moving parts to bring the whole experience together.

Thanks will do!

Thanks! Yep, Android app is in the works. Not sure on exact timeframe but should be soon!

Thanks pwgustafson!

It seems like the problem with it not working very time is Github. I get a 503 on this URL every other time that I load it: http://rawgithub.com/briangonzalez/jquery.adaptive-backgroun...

I would say, like the calculator on the iPhone, they are paying homage to that design.

It's pretty easy to fix using ImageMagick which is what most apps are using to resize images. At the command line it's the -strip option and in rmagick it's the strip! method. This does remove all meta data but for thumbnails like this it's probably desirable.

That picture is a fake. That's how the scans actually look.

Is anything a real competitor if it doesn't compete well out of the box?
