Instapaper?

dlg · 02-17-2023, 10:29 PM

So... just jumped on the KOReader bandwagon and installed it on my trusty K4 and my brand new Leaf2 ...

I'm a huge read-later user and I've used Instapaper for years. I switched to Wallabag for the KOReader support but Wallabag's scraper is just not as good as Instapaper's.

Because I solve problems with Python, I wrote a Flask app that emulates just enough of the Wallabag API to serve Instapaper in to KOReader via the Wallabag plugin. Is this interesting to anyone but me?

Happy to give access to my host or publish the code if there's interest...

Depends what you mean by interest. Interest in seeing the code, absolutely! In using it, not at this moment.

This sounds SUPER interesting to me as I am looking for a solution to exactly this problem. I have worked with Flask a bit before so would be curious to see the code if you're en to sharing it. Cheers!

Sounds good- let me attribute the code I copy-pasted in the readme with some high level instructions, but it's all Dockerized already. Hopefully I'll be back this evening with a link.
