OmniKeep: self-hosted reader migration kit

Moves ex-Omnivore users' saved reading and highlights back onto their own server in one click

Problem
After Omnivore shut down, heavy read-it-later users lost their articles, highlights and reading habits, and the official export path is clumsy. Existing self-hosted readers require database setup, scraping config and sync plumbing that ordinary readers cannot handle.
Solution
A one-click deployable self-hosted reader image with import wizards for Omnivore exports, Pocket, Instapaper and browser bookmarks. It keeps article snapshots, highlights and tags, and adds full-text search plus a daily reading queue.
Users
Heavy read-it-later users, researchers and technical writers who used Omnivore and no longer trust closed cloud readers.
MVP
One-command Docker deploy; Omnivore export parser and importer; article extraction with offline snapshots; highlights, tags and full-text search; RSS and browser-extension capture
Revenue
Open-source core plus a hosted subscription (managed server, backups, multi-device sync), or a one-time paid desktop bundle
Why now
The Omnivore shutdown created an orphaned user base with real migration pain, and existing open-source alternatives are too hard to deploy for non-technical readers
