Browser Extension: if the page was already saved, the Read Now button leads to 404 page.

Something weird happens when trying to Read Now a page that you saved earlier, leading to 404 NOT FOUND error page

Steps

  1. Visit any page e.g. https://xkcd.com/1/
  2. Activate Omnivore chrome extension to save the page a. note: if you instead click Read Now you get https://omnivore.app/darthwalsh/xkcd-barrel-part-1-19184fde829 and it works
  3. Wait a little, and use the extension to save the page again
  4. Click Read Now

Actual Behavior

The browser loads https://omnivore.app/darthwalsh/xkcd-barrel-part-1-19184fe070c The browser redirects to https://omnivore.app/404

404

This page could not be found.

Expected Behavior

I can read the XKCD page in omnivore.app.

Possible solutions

  • Browser extension tries to open the first URL i.e. 19184fde829 even when the page is saved later
  • the second URL https://omnivore.app/darthwalsh/xkcd-barrel-part-1-19184fe070c redirects to 19184fde829
