In "What’s Next":
Improved Self-Hosting- We just merged a patch to remove our elastic search dependency. This will make self-hosting and local development much easier.

Nice, although of course really want want Cloudron to actually have an Elastic Search addon too

@ctrl I have used the other solution here on Cloudron in the past, but Wallabag is practically unusable in a real use case. See for example the absence of the possibility to underline and manage annotations...
So I think Omnivore it can be a good compromise to guarantee privacy. Despite this, there is little transparency about who the developers are, where the app is maintained, where the data is stored in the hosted version, and above all they don't respond to any emails....
-
I currently moved from Omnivore to Wallabag because Omnivore was not available on Cloudron but I really loved Omnivore UX.
-
@MorganGeek It seems that with Wallabag you cannot highlight text and export highlights. Me too I love Omnivore UX... I hope one day can be part of Cloudron App store

Indeed the Omnivore app has an awesome feature for highlights and for hiding our email from newsletters. However it lacks ability to easily export data, and as I care a lot about data portability, I'm migrating all my links to Wallabag. Wallabag has some annotations related issues open for months and years on Github, including this one (more recent) https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/issues/5484 which seems to be equivalent to what Omnivore brings, but I don't know when such feature could be expected to be released.

@MorganGeek I totally agree with your concerns about Omnivore. Not only those, but also is not really explained who they are, where data (for payed version) is hosted, and also they don't reply to any email (even if they show on their home page a "Call to action" like "Contact us" or similar.
About Wallabag, how will you manage highlights. Thank's a lot!
-
Yeah I confirm I couldn't not reach out to them or at least they forgot to reply
On the other hand Wallabag has so many issues open in their GitHub for many years, and some of their current features are buggy (the export sometimes takes ages, or the app crashes for memory issues), I like both apps but none is exempt of issues.For now I lack a workflow for highlighted content, I guess the best would be to save some pages as markdown in my Obsidian and highlights from there.

@MorganGeek It could be a good workaround but you evaluate see the impact on the reading flow.
Let's see how the development of Omnivore evolves and let's hope
