As stated in Mozilla official blog post: Mozilla Pocket is shutting down. The service will be available until July 8th, after that, Pocket will enter export-only mode, users can export all the bookmarks before October 8th. If you want to keep your bookmarks, it’s time to migrate them to another service.

Raindrop.io is a good alternative. This article will explain how to export all the content in Pocket and import it to Raindrop.

Step-by-Step Migration Guide: From Pocket to Raindrop

  1. Go to getpocket.com/export, and make sure you can access the email in the left-top corner, Pocket will send the file to that address. Click the Export CSV File button.export bookmarks from Pocket
  2. Go to your email and download the file. Pocket says:“Please allow up to 7 days to receive your export.” I don’t have many bookmarks and received the email in less than one minute.
  3. Sign in to your Raindrop account, then go to https://app.raindrop.io/settings/import, click the “Upload File” button, select the file and upload it.import bookmarks to Raindrop

Why raindrop:

  • It integrates with a lot of apps.
  • It runs everywhere, web, browser plugins, iOS, Android.
  • It’s safe and secure. Open source, no ads and trackers.
  • Permanent copy: Raindrop automatically creates copies of all web pages and files in your collection. Only available in paid plan.

About a year ago, the OneNote web clipper stopped supporting non-Edge browsers. As a Firefox user, I decided to separate my personal notes from saved articles: personal notes to OneNote and saved articles to Mozilla Pocket. Now, Pocket is shutting down.

I tried Joplin after migrating my Evernote notes to Joplin. Joplin users must open the Joplin app to save a page with the Joplin web clipper plugin.

However, with Raindrop pro plan, you just add a bookmark to the page, and then Raindrop automatically creates a copy of the page. Note: Archiving depends on page accessibility; restricted content (e.g., paywalls, login-locked pages) may not save successfully. Check the limitations on this page for more details.

Set the robots.txt meta tag for the page and hit the Publish button. //This code was generated by Google's Gemini AI. <div id="custom-archive"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> function createArchive() { // 1. Get blog URL (Blogger provides this automatically) var blogUrl = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host; // 2. Function to fetch pos...

As TikTok will be banned on January 19th, many users are fleeing to other platforms. Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu is among the destinations. It is said that more than 700,000 new users joined Xiaohongshu in 2 days, according to Reuters . Photo by Declan Sun on Unsplash Xiaohongshu was founded in 2013, and most of the users were females in the first several years. The meaning of the app's name is Red Note. It was regarded as the Chinese version of Instagram, which also focuses on photo sharing. Now many male users are participating in the creation of content in all formats, texts, photos, live photos, videos in different lengths and live-streaming.

Additionally, Twitter features a translation function that enab...
