I wanted to create something like Omnivore, but you beat me to it :D (my ideas)

Hi,
I am pleasantly surprised, that some already created what seems to be a great read-it-later app.
I always missed it.
As I read your "The Secret power of 'read it later' apps", you just had very similar route as me. Having pocket, then they introduced paid version, so switching to instapaper, then they also introduced paid version, which led me to "yeah lets create something like this for myself in the future", but as it happens, no time for that yet. Then I found omnivore. Gave it a quick look and it ticks most of my boxes.

My whole journey was from Google RSS (they canceled it), switching to Feedly (using till today), meantime saving to pocket, then to instapaper, then saving tech newsletters into google read later nad having openned tabs in the chrome with other articles in "ToRead group"... Saving interesting articles into google bookmarks (which have search for titles, so using titles as tags :D) Quite a mess now....

I love that this is open source and free. And you are talking about pricing in advance before implementing it for what will it be for. Great decision. I like companies/platforms that are straight with everything beforehand.

I'd like to just share ideas that I was compiling when I was thinking about the "best read-it-later app"
I might miss some of the features of omnivore, if they are already implemented, sorry for missing them here.

Lets go:

• automatic article tagging/labeling (with AI)
• automatic article summarization (with AI)
• text to speech of an article (with play/pause/speed/diff voice)
• queueing the tts articles into a playlist (to be consumed only by audio, and when consumed to automatically archive)
• automatic article categorization/bucketing after saving it -> those with only text to one search index, those with images/videos/code into another search index (not for audio stream)
• full-text search inside the contents
• offline downloading of archived articles (so that when someone deletes them on the internet, I still have them accessible)
• "hey google" integration for notes when listening the tts queue (use case when driving or doing something that requires my hands, but not my mind, to be able to pause, make a note/highlight via my voice, then continue)

This would be my absolutely perfect read-it-later app, which would help me read/listen to articles as much as possible.
Hopefully this is not much of a bullshit for you and maybe some of these might be implemented in the future hopefully? 😊
