I’ve said it before elsewhere, but worth restating: Matter is the Reader’s Reader. Anyone serious about expanding the scope of their reading on a daily basis should give it a try. The ability to share articles, follow authors, and capture meaningful chunks of text is really unparalleled. It gives you not only a sense of control over the fire-hose of things to read on the internet, but also a quiet place to enjoy that reading when you are ready. I’ve been a dedicated user since beta (after years of struggling with Pocket). Finally, the timeliness and relevance of each new feature makes updating Matter a pleasure—how many other apps can you say the same? Run, don’t walk.

Matter is undoubtedly the best thing the Internet has birthed for reading. Skilled curation, surfacing new gems from other readers, ingesting newsletters, and an ambitious whole-of+content vision. Not reading for utility. Not reading to perform for others. Reading for curiosity, joy, and discovery.

Unclutter — Modern Reader Mode

Everyone check this out, it's so much more than a better Pocket or Instapaper (which it is as well)! Just imagine all the best articles your friends ever found, newsletters without having to go to your inbox, no ads or paywalls, and recommendations from Twitter - all in one calm environment just for reading. Plus awesome UX, built-in highlighting & text-to-speech for free! I'm super excited to see what they build next.

I’ve been on the betas for almost a year and trust me: This is an incredible and joyful (is that possible?!) tool. Makes it easy to save and highlight all of the articles you find. It incorporates all of your newsletters in a single place that’s far more useful than your email inbox. Plus the serendipity of finding new articles from your more intentional, literary friends makes it an all-in-one educational platform for the self-taught.

Awesome! Can't wait to try this out! Do you support export to Kindle? Similar to how Instapaper has a pdf digest that they email to the kindle email address

What a cool product. Could you possibly share some insights? Can I post a link to any content? How did you solve this technically without infringing on anyone's copyrights?

Review Matter?

Reviewers see Matter as a genuinely useful save-for-later tool that makes it easier to collect articles and other content and return to them when convenient. The main praise is simple organization and queuing, which helps people stay focused without losing interesting finds. The biggest complaints are about access and platform support, with one user wanting an Android app and easier direct access. Audio stands out as the clearest weak spot: one reviewer expected to use it heavily but found playback unreliable and speed controls lacking.
