I thought digg was killed off by Reddit
Will there be a $5 fee to access Pocket then?
I... dont want to think about what Digg would do to it, or since no one remembers Digg has everyone forgotten about the 2010 redesign, and why Digg was sold to BuySellAds in 2018?
Pownce was awesome the short time it existed
Looks like they offered to take it not buy it. Hell throw my hat into the "please give it to me" ring
Has anyone ever used pocket except by accident?
Yes, many times. For a while I tried to use it as a read later for articles. But I never managed to actually remember to go back and read later the things I saved. I honestly think it's a useful tool. You can save articles offline to read later.
So I had no idea you could use it to read offline. But I remember saving webpages to read later back in the 00s. I remember you could even choose how many links deep you wanted to save. Is this really no longer available?
Actually I like Offpunk for this kind of functionality, but that's not very mainstream.
Well sure you can save web pages. Pocket was a manager for that.
Is there a better free read later app?
Instapaper has a free plan. Personally, I moved away from Instapaper and use the extension MarkDownload to save pages as Markdown and import that into Obsidian.
I'm just not sure what a read later app is even for. Can't you just leave the tab open?
The internet is not always available for at least some people.
The main idea is that you can access it regardless of which device you're currently using. Like saving an article you see when you're on your PC for when you're about to leave so you can read it on your phone while on the train
Try readdeck or shiori (both self hostable)
not even by accident, lol
I loved pocket when it let me tap to turn but then that got stripped out and I never used it again
I miss revision 3.
