To-read vs Starred: How to best use miniflux?

[thoroughmas]

I've been enjoying using miniflux, but I'm struggling to find a workflow that suits me, and I'm not sure if I'm missing something. I feel like I need one more "save for later" or "archived favourites" kind of feature?

Basically, I have lots of articles come in every day from all my feeds. Only some of them do I want to read, so I skim the titles, clicking "Star" on the few articles I'd like to read. Then I can quickly mark all as read to clear the incoming feed.

I then have a small list of articles I want to read in the Starred tab, perfect.

But then, if I use the Starred tab as a "to-read" section like this, there's no where else I can keep articles that I have both read and want to keep. As far as I can see, "Starred" is the only way to keep a collection of favourite articles. So if I use it as a "to-read" section, I no longer have a way to keep favourites that have been read.

Anyone else have a better way of managing this?

I'm marking as read everything I want to skip. I proceed to read the remaining ones, mostly jumping to their conclusion or summary that I generate via LLM. I star everything worth bookmarking/sharing. I also save those using the save button. My miniflux instance integrates with Shaarli so everything I save in Miniflux is copied to Shaarli. So I'm not using Miniflux as a long term bookmarking solution.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I'll check out Shaarli and see if it suits me.
When you mention the "save button", is that a Shaarli thing? There's no saving in miniflux, just starring right?

I believe the save button appears only after enabling integrations in miniflux.
I believe miniflux becomes interesting when integrated with things like wallabag or shaarli or others.
