Show HN: Kobo Pocket Replacement

3 points

10 months ago

I use(d) Pocket a lot on my Kobo, and with Pocket shutting down, I wanted a self-hosted alternative that kept it working on the Kobo too. This project is two parts:

1) A device mod to redirect Pocket URLs to the URL of your choice 2) A proxy server to translate Pocket API calls into a different backend's API

Currently only Readeck is supported as a backend (since that's what I use), but please feel free to contribute if there's another read-it-later service you like better. And of course any feedback is appreciated.

Note: Kobo has announced they're eventually replacing Pocket with Instapaper, but even when they release the update I'm going to update the proxy to translate Instapaper API calls too - this saga has made me want to stay on something self-hosted that can't be shut down.
