I only use four so:

  • Dataview.
  • DB folder (nice for ex-Notion users!)
  • Tracker
  • Omnivore!!

Omnivore is amazing. I moved away from Pocket and I have been super happy. It’s a read it later app and has full integration with Obsidian. Love the highlight option! You highlight what you like in Omnivore and it moves the parts into Obsidian. I have a folder for all in Obisidan and then use Dataview to create MoCs of these article per topic.

@bowreality @JeremyT Does Omnivore save Mastodon posts/threads pretty well? I use Readwise and it doesn’t parse Mastodon very well at all.

@pam @bowreality @JeremyT @obsidianmd GoodLinks works very well to save Mastodon threads

@baillargg @bowreality @JeremyT @obsidianmd Thanks! So far it seems Omnivore grabs a whole Mastodon thread (with Readwise it’s hit or miss… mostly miss). I like that I can sync my Omnivore highlights to my Obsidian. Will continue comparing the two (Readwise/Omnivore). I will check out GoodLinks!

Oh good question. I need to try that

It does! I’ll attach a screenshot (iOS app). And thanks for that idea. I bookmark in Mona and then I forgot and never look at them. Sending them to Omnivore is a great idea!

@bowreality ooo thanks, I’d appreciate a screenshot! I’m starting to consider Omnivore over Readwise Reader.

I don’t know readwise but omnivore is free so try it! I looooove it!

Wow I didn't know that Omnivore already supports Obsidian! I'll try it right now!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah it’s super handy. You can also import whole articles.

Thanks! I just tried Omnivore, but it appears that highlighted images are broken in Obsidian; these images don't link to the original image but rather through Omnivore's own proxy, which (for me) breaks the images.

I prefer the Pocket > Readwise > Obsidian route, meaning I use the Readwise plugin in Obsidian. It costs a pretty penny but doesn't send images through a proxy...

Mine does well with pics. I’ll attach a screenshot
