Hi Nate, this new product looks super exciting for long-time Pocket users like me!
While I'm here... one thing I've found with your recommendation emails is that they seem to be very US-focused. As a Brit living in France, US stories are a little less relevant to me, as my reading history would probably suggest. I would love to see some kind of geo-filtering to a little less US-bias in the recommendations! But apart from that, thanks for bringing such a fantastic product to market and kudos to all your product and design teams for keeping everything so fabulously beautiful and simple.

I might be the minority here: I tend to click on 'View Original' and read articles in their original form. The font size on Pocket is a bit large for me; I don't like to scroll down too much when reading..

Love this app!

@nateweiner It would be great know which article is short, medium, or longer to read 😄

Pretty cool idea. Only the best of the web makes it to Pocket, and why not open that up in some curated form...brilliant idea. I'm already loving the "Startup" collection.
My only gripe with Pocket is that the web version can still be a bit better...a global setting to read in Pocket or jump straight to the original content would help enormously, since the embedded links on that content when read in Pocket doesn't properly take us to the target sometime and that annoys. Other than that it's so great.

I love pocket & used it for quite awhile. However, I had to switch becouse it's lacking many of the core things I need.
My biggest complaints:
The Android app crashes frequently. No matter what I've tried, it's buggy & hard to use Becouse it just keep crashing.
I would love to be able to have sub topics. Otherwise things get very messy & hard to navigate.
My links for YouTube & Google play redirect me to them on chrome, instead of the app.
It automcially downloads to your phone, so it ended up taking up a ton of space. I wish there was a way to disable it without having to constantly clear the cache.
