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
- Visit any page e.g. https://xkcd.com/1/
- 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
- Wait a little, and use the extension to save the page again
- 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.
19184fde829even when the page is saved later - the second URL https://omnivore.app/darthwalsh/xkcd-barrel-part-1-19184fe070c redirects to
19184fde829
