Folio lets you save articles from anywhere, has a lovely reading view, lets you listen to articles with some really nice text-to-speech voices, and access all your saves offline across all of your devices. If you enjoyed Pocket, you'll feel right at home! It’s still early days but all the core features are solid and working well.

Pocket imports are available via their API (though it’s been a little flaky lately), and I’m wrapping up file imports from Pocket, Instapaper, Matter, Raindrop, and Readwise so it should be easy to make the switch really soon.

Lots of fun stuff planned ahead. I’d love to have you join us if you’re looking for a new home!

The good news is that it works great in the browser, so it should work really well in Ubuntu. We support desktop notifications in Chrome and Firefox. The desktop app is based on Chromium so it should be fairly trivial to get it working on Linux in the not too distant future.

Thanks! It's Backbone.js on the front-end (with lots of help from the amazing strophe.js), Rails for the REST API, node.js for lots of supporting services, ejabberd for XMPP, and MySQL for storage. It's one of those problems that seemed like it was going to be simple to solve and then wasn't (as usual) so there are quite a few moving parts to bring the whole experience together.
