In this article, we will look at a cross-platform, open-source read-it-later platform called ' **Omnivore** ' that facilitates such tasks. + +Allow me to show you what it has to offer. + +### Omnivore: Overview ⭐ + +![][1] + +Powered primarily by **HTML** , and **TypeScript** , Omnivore **aims to be an all-in-one solution** for all your reading needs. + +It sounds like an alternative to the ever-popular [Pocket][2] app by Mozilla. + +You can use it across many platforms, such as **Web** , **Android** , and **iOS**. + +You can also self-host it on a server, though Omnivore was initially designed to be deployed on [GCP][3] (Google Cloud Platform). Luckily, the developers are working on a more inclusive deployment system, that will make it more portable. + +So, let us begin by taking a look at some key highlights of Omnivore: + + * **Support for full-keyboard navigation.** + * **Autosave of progress in long articles.** + * **Support for various plugins.** + * **Offline reading functionality.** + + + +#### Initial Impressions 👨‍💻 + +I tested the free-hosted version of Omnivore, where you have to create an account. + +After account creation, I set it up with a few articles to read later, and the result was this **well-organized homepage**. + +![Click to enlarge the image][4] + +It features a sidebar menu comprising category options like **Inbox, Continue Reading, Read Later, Unlabeled** and more. + +The main grid layout houses all the saved articles; it also had an alternate list-style view, but I opted for the grid view. + +So, moving on. Let me show you **how to add articles to Omnivore**. + +There are two main ways of saving articles for reading later on Omnivore. + +One is **through the user menu** , where you have to click on “ **Add Link** ”, and then paste the URL into the text box that appears when you click on it. + +![][5] + +But the other way is far more intuitive; it is **via browser extensions**. I tested it on Vivaldi using the Omnivore extension from the [Chrome Web Store][6]. + +After installing it, you simply have to visit an article of interest and click on the Omnivore logo that shows up in the extensions bar of your browser. + +![][7] + +The article will then be added to your Omnivore account; you can also make use of the available options to **add notes, labels, edit titles** , and more. + +Don't worry; this is not a Chromium-only affair. You can get browser extensions for [Firefox][8] and [Safari][9] too, which is a good thing. + +Post that, I went on to take a look at **the “Labels” system on Omnivore**. I had created two labels and assigned them to the saved articles accordingly. + +It allowed me to sort them by label. I just had to click on the one I wanted to access. + +![Click to enlarge the image][10] + +For creating new labels, click on the three-dot menu beside “ **Labels** ” on the sidebar menu and proceed to edit. + +![][11] + +Next, you can get started by adding a label or modifying the existing ones, giving them a name and color. + +![][12] + +To assign them to existing articles, hover over an article card, go into the three-dot menu, and choose “ **Set Labels**.” + +I then proceeded to see the **article-reading experience** , and I was not disappointed. The article viewer had a clean layout with a floating sidebar menu that allowed for a range of functionality. + +The first option was to set labels to the article; the second one opens up a notebook that lets you add notes to the specific article. + +![Click to enlarge the image][13] + +Then there's the “Edit Info” button that opens up an editing window for editing critical details of a saved article. And finally, the last two buttons are for deleting or archiving the saved article. + +![Click to enlarge the image][14] + +I then moved on to check out the plugin's support **on Omnivore**. It supports quite a few, allowing you to export content from there. + +You can connect it to [Logseq][15], [Obsidian][16], [Readwise][17], and even Mozilla's [Pocket][2]. + +This level of interoperability is always a plus in my books! 🤓 + +![][18] + +And this last one came as a surprise to me. + +Omnivore **supports the creation of email aliases** that can then be used to sign up for various newsletters. Officially, they support newsletters from [Substack][19], [beehiv][20], [Axios][21], and more. + +![][22] + +But, as it turns out, it works on other newsletters too. I tested it out on **[our newsletter][23]** , and it integrated well! + +### 📥 Get Omnivore + +If you are like me and want to get started conveniently, I suggest you visit the [official website][24]. + +However, if you are more into self-hosting it, I recommend you take a look at the [official documentation][25] and its [GitHub repo][26]. + +[Omnivore][24] + +**As for their pricing structure** , currently, Omnivore is entirely free. The developers have not decided on a proper pricing plan but have a few ideas in the pipeline they intend to pursue. + +Presently, they rely entirely on donations from the community. + +_💬 What are your thoughts on this?
