Readeck #117

Description

@chloeobot

Summary

Add Readeck to ElfHosted as a self-hosted read-later and bookmark manager — a clean, modern alternative to Wallabag.

What It Is

Readeck saves web pages for offline reading, strips clutter, and organises them as a personal library. Combines read-it-later (Pocket/Instapaper) and bookmark management in one app.

Why It Matters

Wallabag is already in the ElfHosted store but Readeck offers a substantially cleaner UX and is gaining rapidly in the self-hosted community. Users who found Wallabag too complex or dated frequently cite Readeck as their replacement. Complements Karakeep and Linkding (bookmarks) already in the store.

Technical Notes

  • Single container, Go binary — very lightweight
  • SQLite-backed, no external DB dependency
  • No special privileges required

Concerns

  • Overlaps with Wallabag; positions as a UX upgrade for read-later use case

Decision

Recommend: Proceed (High confidence)
