I've been a big fan of the slick interface of Omnivore. It could process web sites, email newsletters and RSS feeds.

The users have just been informed that Omnivore has "joined" the AI startup Eleven Labs. It may be bitter how OSS projects are being sucked up by AI, but that alone sounds innocuous enough.

What is upsetting is that the users have only until the 15.11 to export their data, after which the service will be deactivated. The export format is only usable with Eleven Labs, and exports for Pocket, Instapaper, etc are not offered, which I find just insulting.

Same. I’m fucking furious. I specifically chose it over something like Readwise in order to stay open source. Ugh.
