RSS feature in Thunderbird adds Pocket button

[JiuPin]

I really like the RSS feature in Thunderbird and I want to make it even better

Every RSS comes with an internet site, could there be a Pocket button to "save page to Pocket" like in Firefox?

It should be nice if you can

Best regards

Hi Jui Pin, in the meantime you can forward any RSS article directly to Pocket by sending it to [email protected] via one of the email addresses you've associated with your Pocket accounts - not as convenient as a share to Pocket button, but does the same. https://help.getpocket.com/article/1020-saving-to-pocket-via-email

RSS is great - but it's not email, and doesn't need to be integrated into an email client. Email is inherently two-way, personal, private. RSS and the web are public and one-way. These very different modes of communication are best kept clearly separate.

Personally, I use Usenet, ftp, Discord and other communications apps - but I have not the slightest wish to see them taking up space in my email client, or potentially compromising its security.

If you're using thunderbird to pull your RSS feeds (as I do), then can't Thunderbird itself keep those references as a to-read for you? Why use one application to manage the subscriptions just to forward them on to another application?

If you integrate such feature, please be more flexible than just pocket. There are a lot of read-it-later-clones like wallabag, ...

@flybirdis just perfectly right! Also: flus.fr

Is this idea still feasible given Pocket's discontinuation of RSS support?

@matt-buckleythe goal here is just to add articles from Thunderbird to Pocket.

I think this could be useful. For example, when you click on a link in email and it opens within Thunderbird to an article, a Pocket button on the toolbar would be handy.

I also think Thunderbird could be adapted to act as a desktop based Pocket reader and store articles offline. As an optional module, for those who use Pocket.
