Comments and Reviews
Been using it for maybe ten years, when it was called Read It Later.
It's simple, unobtrusive, multi platform. I can save and tag sites and read them anywhere. And with third party integrations can tag some pages to read later on, on my Kindle.
Initially it was just to read articles later on, but nowadays it's also a bit of a bookmark and archive tool.
They now have a subscription service that stores pages forever even if they cease to exist.
Instapaper vs Pocket
Instapaper Pros:
Pocket Pros :
Both apps have IFTTT integration.
Instapaper is wayy ahead of Pocket in terms of features! And it's Free!
Was a great tool for late reading. It will be hard to find another solution.
I've been using Pocket since it was actually called Read It Later, and it's still solid for that use case, including offline reading (and yes, that still matters). But lately I've really soured on the way it's turned into a recommendation engine, and I'm giving
wallabag a try.
You can use it to share articles on Social Media, but there's no automatic way to export to any file formats or similar clipping platforms.
It's buggy at best but it has a nice UI. The recommendations are biased and sexist and not curated properly.
It's cheap, unobtrusive and does what it should in a simple way. I use it for reading later, but also bookmarking my articles. The search feature isn't perfect but it's good enough. When I want to learn a new topic or I want to share the way I have learned something with colleagues the first thing I do is search my Pocket archives.
