I've been thinking lately about storing full text articles in a tiddlywiki. Right now I'm using Pocket to save the links.

My current thoughts on the process:
1. Export the links from pocket using https://getpocket.com/export
2. Use wget to grab all the articles and images (wget -i ExportedPocketURLs.txt)
3. Clean up the article like pocket. This is the step that is giving me an issue.
4. Drag and drop all the files into a tiddlywiki

Another option I'm toying with is to:
1. Tag articles in pocket with "Save" tag
2. Use IFTTT to save articles with the "Save" tag to an Evernote notebook
3. Export Evernote articles to html
4. Drag and drop all the files into a tiddlywiki

Has anyone had any luck with something that works?

As long as you keep the stuff private, I think you are good to go. If you re-publish the content, please take care. see: https://getpocket.com/tos#copyright

At some point I will be trying to do the same thing. What would be really cool is if there was a way to automatically important the contents of emails as tiddlers. Setup a folder or tag on the mail server, and then use some plugin to connect to the mail server and import the contents of the designated folder or tag.

I just wanted to keep the content for a full text search. TW is wonderful at this! All info stays private.

There have been some discussions (long time ago), that an IMAP server could be used as a tiddler store. But at the time there haven't been any good browser libraries to connect to mail servers. ... This has changed in the mean time. So the idea imo is still very interesting.
