Even better, just use an already opensource project instead of pocket: https://wallabag.org/

I will just leave this here for people who see this meta bug and think there was no progress on the issue https://github.com/Pocket

Thanks - We can probably close this!  In context, it was meant to be helpful during some meeting or another. But then it wasn't used to track the actual work, which was happening on github.

Out of curiosity, which repo contains the server-side code used behind api.getpocket.com?
Thanks!

Hi there. Pocket is working to open source their code base. They will be publishing on Github here: https://github.com/Pocket. The API/server-side code has not been open sourced yet. So I'd say, keep watching the github repo.

Can the Pocket team create a Project board on GitHub¹­­² so that we can link to it from the URL³ or See Also⁴ field?

Probably best to ask that on the github repo since that's where the team is working, not this bug.

Comment 8

[Grey Nicholson (they/them)]

The Bug Statuses guide [https://wiki.mozilla.org/BMO/UserGuide/BugStatuses#Resolutions] says that FIXED means “A fix for this bug is checked into the tree and tested”, so this bug's FIXED resolution is misleading, because the Pocket server is still closed source.

If Mozilla no longer wants to make Pocket open source, then this bug should be resolved as INVALID (“The problem described is not a bug”).

If you know you should make Pocket open source, but you're still not going to do it, then this bug should be resolved as WONTFIX (“The problem described is a bug which will never be fixed”).

But FIXED is misleading.

(I can't ask for a status update on GitHub, because I don't have an account on GitHub, because GitHub is also closed source.)

It's been several years now. I don't see a project for server-side code on GH. Am I missing something?
