Links opened from getpocket.com should be recognized as the same as links opened from the source website

Issue #23 resolved
madumlao created an issue

What we have right now:

  • you save foo.com/article into pocket
  • you visit foo.com/article: inmypocket recognizes it as saved. Alt+w will archive it. Alt+w again will save it again.
  • you visit getpocket.com/a/read/foo-article: inmypocket does not recognize it as saved. Alt+w saves the pocket site in pocket! :D

What you want:

  • you save foo.com/article into pocket
  • you visit foo.com/article: inmypocket recognizes it as saved. Alt+w will archive it. Alt+w again will save it again.
  • you visit getpocket.com/a/read/foo-article: inmypocket recognizes it as saved. Alt+w will archive foo.com/article. Alt+w again will save foo.com/article, NOT getpocket.com/a/read/foo-article :D

If I have some free dev cycles I'll try a go at it myself but I think we want this, right? :)

    Hi Mark!

    I've had a similar request for firefox reader mode as well (saving/archiving the page from firefox reader should be the same as saving/archiving the page itself).

    The getpocket.com URLs seem to use the item ID : https://getpocket.com/a/read/2464174210

    This would have impacts on the pageAction status (make sure that the address bar icon state is consistent).


    I honestly don't have much time to work on the addon those days, I've started to work on a 0.11.x branch but not enough for a new release yet. I should be able to find more time in about a month or so. I keep this in mind and add it to my own backlog anyway. Feel free to send a pull request if you find some time to work on this before I do :)

    Maybe this should be coming along with an integration of getpocket "reader mode". Maybe a setting that would open the reader view by default instead of the page itself ? Or a button to open the reader mode from the popup. Not sure about this yet 🤔

    getpocket reader mode sounds great, but it should not necessarily be tied to this feature.
