Description ben (seawolf) 2013-01-27 09:42:15 UTC
Users of ReadItLater, Intsapaper etc. add web pages to their reading list, for an application on various devices to fetch and then download for offline reading. Users of bookmarking services similarly add web pages to a list for later online reading.

As many users' feeds added to Akregator will include articles that are lengthy or considered interesting later, would it be useful to also send URLs to a bookmarking or offline reading service, in a similar manner to feature of sharing the article on a social network?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(As this is a feature request, the following is how I feel the feature should operate)

1. sign-up for an account with ReadItLater, Instapaper etc.
2. set up this service and account with Akregator
3. find an article for offline reading via an online service
Actual Results:  
(As this is a feature request, the following demonstrates one way of acheiving the desired results)

Users can manipulate the following features but in doing so loose the original functionality provided:

 - share on a social network (set the API URL to the service of choice)
 - open in a tab and leave Akregator open
 - open in a browser tab and leave the browser open (set the browser path to include a URL, e.g. "chromium http://readitlater.com/add?url=%s")

Expected Results:  
(As this is a feature request, the following is how I feel the feature should operate)

The URL is sent to the service for other devices to pick up. The user is optionally notified of successes via the system notifications; failures show a dialog with the error details.

Services support OAuth and/or HTTP authentication, so one would expect the sharing service authentication logic to be used when configuring reading services.

The Akregator settings should allow for use of many services by inputting the URL, type of authentication needed and the user's authentication details.

Many thanks for the consideration, and for all efforts going into making Akregator this damnned good!
