This is good news considering that it's amazing that in 2024 we still don't have any decent alternative to the Google Docs suite that is not Microsoft.

In our small company we tried a self hosted Nextcloud instance and we ended up moving away from that after years of pain. Now we are in HedgeDoc, that is neither ideal because of its lack of central way to manage files collectively, etc. So, I guess good news.

I was a hardcore Instapaper premium user from the early beginnings. Nothing stopped me for continuing using the app, BUT the GDPR.

When you have duties of protect user's data and you don't comply with it, I'm done. Months ago I changed to Pocket (Mozilla owned) and I'm ok with that. I missed little stuff like the text render and other minimum things.

Just wanted to say that because protecting user's privacy is also a business model.

and that there are a great opportunity for open source community to make it better. It's a great piece of software in terms of usability.

well, the news is they are going open source. Does it matter they were acquired by Dropbox one year ago? Maybe that's exactly why now they are going open source.
