OSS Read-it-Later service Omnivore sells out to AI startup ElevenLabs (lemmy.ml)

I've been a big fan of the slick interface of Omnivore. It could process web sites, email newsletters and RSS feeds.

The users have just been informed that Omnivore has "joined" the AI startup Eleven Labs. It may be bitter how OSS projects are being sucked up by AI, but that alone sounds innocuous enough.

What is upsetting is that the users have only until the 15.11 to export their data, after which the service will be deactivated. The export format is only usable with Eleven Labs, and exports for Pocket, Instapaper, etc are not offered, which I find just insulting.

Once you find a good and nice solution, please let me know. It seems the good things are always condemned to disappear.

If it's just bookmarks can recommend Floccus and LinkWarden.
