As written in the title, wallabag is a self-hosted read-it-later web application (like Pocket or Instapaper, but open-source) that saves content from webpages.

Hi, and thank you for Wallabag! I've been happily using the self-hosted version for quite a while now. At some point I forked[1] the Android app but development stalled when I needed an API to be able to improve the app further. So this v2 is great news!
Just an FYI: in the blog post you mention that the login for the preview of v2 is wallabag/wallabag, however I get 'bad credentials' when trying that.
This new Material Design version looks awesome! Eagerly looking forward to v2 becoming stable so I can upgrade.
Is there a page explaining the main differences between 1.x and 2.x? (since "whole new version" suggests there is more behind it than just more features)
The main differences between the two versions is that v2.x uses Symfony as framework and (finally) provides an API for applications to connect properly to it.
Sorry for the formatting of original post, clearly didn't check that.
Seems fixed now, though the name appears as "wallabag¬" - not sure if the last character is deliberate? (Hint: even if it is, it looks like it isn't, which might not be what you want!)
Pretty nasty that it even has that default value IMO.
Better to error if not set, let the dev explicitly put in some dummy values that's ever desired - that's why I said above "not sure why you're doing this", I assumed it was a setting of yours, not a '[neglect-to-]setting'!
This looks really cool, I'd love to see this on Sandstorm at some point. (I use TTRSS as a feed reader there, and tend to just star stuff to come back to, though this would be a better place for storing the stuff I want to read later.)
Hello ocdtrekkie,
We don't have time to develop a sandstorm application. If you want to help us with this app, you're welcome ;-)
I open a new issue to not forget your idea. Already here in fact https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/issues/1160
Wallabag on Sandstorm is an interest of mine as well!
I did look at it a little bit a few months ago, and decided it wasn't a weekend project for me. It took me a little bit to rediscover why, but I think something like the current doc on [Network Access][] is what discouraged me: "By default, Sandstorm runs each app instance with no network access ... Supported protocol: SMTP (email), Other protocols: Work in progress."
Yeah, there's kinda a hacky interim method for apps to reach out to arbitrary HTTP. They're almost ready to release the more secure/better designed method.
Not the same thing, but kind of relevant and interesting, gwern article on the dangers of link rot and archiving URLs: http://www.gwern.net/Archiving%20URLs
Just tried the V2 demo, and it looks great, with both themes. I used V1 a year or so ago, and this is definitely a step up.
However, since Firefox added reader view, I find I don't use services like this any longer. I was a very longtime Instapaper user and then also used Readability.com, but now I just bookmark pages I like (and/or save them to Android Firefox's reading list).
In regards to self-hosting, there shouldn't be any copyright infringement as long as you are not re-serving the contents. Even then, there are exceptions, e.g. archive.org and Google Cache.
The biggest likely legal concern is possible accidental server DDOS, but as long as it respects robots.txt and it paces itself, that shouldn't happen.

For the last few months, we've been working on a whole new version of our application (v2), and it sound very promising. We've just launched a new alpha version for you to test on your server : https://www.wallabag.org/blog/2016/01/22/wallabag-alpha2-v2. You can also have a preview at http://v2.wallabag.org/
If you're not willing to play adventurous, you can still give a try to old version 1.9.1 or choose our hosting service at https://framabag.org/
