Can we add "Read Later" smart feed?

[arpitdsoni]

As a user I want to mark an article as Read Later if

1. I don't have time right now to read this long article
2. I want to read it on mac
3. some other reason

I can submit a PR if required.

Actually, maybe I should rescind my +1. As much as NNW is my go-to reader for all-the-things (that I can jam into an RSS feed), perhaps it would be better if it didn't try to solve other problems?

I just realized I can achieve a "read later" workflow in NNW using Pocket: https://help.getpocket.com/article/1074-can-i-subscribe-to-my-list-via-rss

RSS FTW!

I personally use to star articles for read them in another moment, since I use iCloud, it syncs between all my devices

Hey, I'd like to addd a +1.

The reason is that even though the star feature exists, some articles I like to read come from sources that have no RSS or where shared with me some other way and therefore would not appear in my RSS reader. Since the reader is my one-stop-read-everything tool, it would be great if these sources could appear there as well.

The problem with fetching RSS from Pocket/Instapaper is that you cannot delete articles with that workflow from it again, i.e. it becomes a huge article dump over time, unliked starred articles, which I can unstar again. Another problem I'd like to highlight is that at least the RSS stream provided by Pocket is very limited (i.e. all entries are just the links, the content is not provided), which means you cannot actually read the article in the reader.

A benefit of using read-it-later services is that they can be read on other devices with for instance the web-interface, even if my RSS feeds are all local. It's bit like a synchronized version of only the starred items.

For comparison, Reeder has iCloud Read-it-later, Instapaper and Pocket support. Ideally, we could add any amount of those services as well as Wallabag instances and either star articles, or add them to one of the read-it-later services that are connected to NNW.

I am using RSS for the websites I am actively reading, but sometimes I stumble upon an article outside of my RSS feed (for example on Facebook or Twitter). I have a workflow to open them, immediately save them to my Pocket account, and close the website. It would be great to be able to have access to them via NNW.

[reppep]

I'd like this as well. Originally it didn't make sense to me that ReadKit showed my Instapaper feed, but whenever I catch up with my RSS articles, the next thing I do is read Instapaper. I'd love this in NNW.

[pimoore]

Count me in for wanting to see a read later feature. I use the “Read later in Reeder” option all the time and would love NNW to adopt it. It’s the perfect way to capture things in your RSS app — which many of us read everything in already — without having to subscribe directly. I even save YouTube videos to watch later if I’m not already subscribed to the channel in my regular feeds.

I would also like to bump this request for the much needed import from pocket feature!

[mateuszjablonski]

If you are using external read-it-later services, like Pocket, some of them offer RSS feed with saved articles, I am using it now and it does the job.

Hey, I am using Pocket but I'm not sure if it's because I'm a new user, but I can't see any option for an rss feed for my Pocket account. Can you tell me how you get your rss feed?

@KorigamiK I found this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/can-i-subscribe-to-my-list-via-rss

I did see this page but in my account settings I can only see a blank username field that is not editable. And no section for rss either. Can you tell me how you got your username?

[mateuszjablonski]

Sorry, I am not using Pocket anymore, but when I had, it was working. Try poking around or write to Pocket support, maybe there is some bug on their side.

[andreiglingeanu]

I am using omnivore now as my read later service, so far it does the job just fine. But would love to have everythin in NetNewsWire, especially if it's easy to enable this.

[thefranke]

Update: I switched from Pocket to using Wallabag, which has full RSS streams for added articles (i.e. you get the entire article, unlike Pocket where you only get a portion). This works quite well now, the only caveat is that every now and then I need to log in to Wallabag and delete all the articles that have piled up there.

[thefranke]

Hey everyone, I wrote a pure read-it-later to RSS service and got rid of Wallabag. You post a URL to it, and it appears on a personal feed back in your RSS reader. Doesn't need an account (you get a random id feed).
