I am ashamed to advertise it so bluntly but I wrote a similar tool that might address some of the above requests. The browser extension works with all desktop browsers, Firefox Beta/Nightly on Android (that's how I use it) and with Kiwi Browser on Android. The IOS shortcut has only been tested via appetize.io. There's a sort of sync - RSS and a dedicated web page. Bypasses some paywalls and most ublock/adbock blockers.

Oh nice! Seems like "send articles to Kindle" is its main selling point?


Not only Kindle. There are e-readers with Dropbox integration and RSS is still widely used. My own scenario (no matter phone or computer):

- I come to a page I want to read later, a page behind a soft paywall, a page with a "switch off your add blocker" popup, page with tons of JS, popups, videos that takes forever to load and one has to close this and that while scrolling down

- It takes one click (2 to 4 taps on mobile) to send the page to web2doc and forget

I read the content directly in the web channel or (1)Feeder reminds me about the new article(s) within half an hour.
