            Bug ID: 313961
           Summary: Feature: add to online bookmarking / offline reading
                    services
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: akregator
           Version: 4.9.5
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: ben+kde at seawolfsanctuary.com

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!
