I love the reader on this - so crisp. It also remembers where you got to so you can pick up later. There's an extension for Chrome which syncs with your app for reading. The recommendations are also good - not like Medium which doesn't have a clue what the heck I like.

Pros:

Great way to curate articles for later reading.

Cons:

Difficult to share articles with your social media followers. They need the app for it to work.

Is it a reddit / hackernews / designernews etc... killer ? 🤔

@camillebesse Certainly not the plan. But those examples highlight a big problem we see with content today: Everyone calls it news, completely ignoring the massive amount of incredible content that is buried by news. I'm super interested in Space, but trying to satisfy my curiosity in the Space subreddit, I generally don't find something, just a few pictures and news stories. It's really hard today in all of these experiences to get past the front-page/last few days. We're trying to create a channel where the really high quality stuff that deserves your time attention, even a few weeks or months later, can thrive.

I've dabbled with Pocket for more than a few times and always love Pocket hits. Always something interesting to read/look at! @nateweiner

So it's like you StumbleUpon but much much better ?

Congrats @nateweiner! When I am traveling without wifi, the offline feature is super useful.

I have been a paid Pocket user for years. This is a very good initiative. I would also like to see more curation and AI for sorting in bookmarks I have saved for years.
