Social recommendations and mentions

• Any URL/Website hoarders?

  I find Pocket useful for: https://getpocket.com/en/. Source: 11 months ago

• How to deal with 30,000+ bookmarks? Software suggestions?

  I use the Pocket extension for Chrome. You can tag every one to organize them. They have import options and some paid features that could help you sort of dead links and other things. https://getpocket.com/en/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Saving links for later app?

  I do use Pocket for this: https://getpocket.com/en/ works great. I‘m not sure about the notes though, have never really tried that. It supports tags, that how I usually categorize my links. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is there a Linkedin "saved post" solution?

  There is an app called Pocket, also a Chrome extension which allows you to saves links and you can tag them to organise. If you use this on mobile, use the ‘share via’ on LinkedIn and you save to Pocket. That’s how I do it! Hope that helps. Source: about 1 year ago

• Anti-FOMO

  Leverage RSS feeds, and/or pocket, and/or many other credible alternatives to keep things organized and save time. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: How do you save and browse external interesting URLs?

  I use [Pocket](https://getpocket.com/en/) for this. There’s a browser extension and an iOS app; both are optimized for saving quickly. Later, I tag each item for easier search. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• What quietly went away without anyone noticing?

  I use firefox's built-in pocket like I used stumbleupon. It's very cool, not identical to how you could use stumbleupon, but it's the closest thing I've found. Source: over 1 year ago

• Software for organizing a variety of data into one place?

  Would it be Eagle? Would it be Zotero? Pocket? I feel the drawback with most programs is they lack other things that are needed. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: How do you save web articles for later reading?

  A lot of the suggestion here is selfhosted. Mine are not. The simplest is to use a browser Bookmarks/Reading List feature. The best next free mobile/ereader friendly option is https://getpocket.com/en/ If you want to investigate more, here is some search keywords and the my best app for each. - "Bookmark manager" -> (free online) http://raindrop.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• e reader that don't need a cable and a PC to transfer documents

  Kobo devices also work with the Pocket (https://getpocket.com/en/) service, so you can save articles or web pages from your phone or computer to your pocket account, then read a visually simplified version of them on your Kobo. This can be convenient for long articles. Source: over 1 year ago

• Does Notion work for GTD?

  It's not the best reader, if you collect lots of articles for read-later in your GTD system, then it's better to use a dedicated app like Pocket or Matter for that. Source: over 1 year ago

• E-Reader for easily reading web articles

  Look into Pocket. It's an extension that comes preinstalled on Mozilla Firefox, but can be added to other browsers like Chrome. It is exactly what you are looking for. Source: over 1 year ago

• I have some spare time at my job and don't want to waste it just scrolling, ideas?

  If a book is too daunting, you could collect articles in a service like Pocket and read them. Or maybe subscribe to newsletters and read those. You should be able to fit one in your 30 mins block. Source: over 1 year ago

• Toronto rents expected to jump by another 15% over the next six month

  My hot tip. Save the article to Pocket (https://getpocket.com/en/) that way you can download the article and get passed the paywall. Source: over 1 year ago

• “I’m done believing we’re the stupid ones, Ukrainian soldier tells Jonathan Franzen”

  Completely unrelated to your paywall comment, this is an app I really like. Source: almost 2 years ago

• ‘Note taking app’ recommendation?

  Have you seen https://getpocket.com/en/ ? Source: almost 2 years ago

• Zettelkasten for Internet Learning

  Managing learnings from the internet is not an easy task and it seems like everyone has their own way of managing things from the internet. Whether that be with save-it-later services like Pocket, highlighting solutions like Hypothes.is, or simply pasting / writing things from the internet with tools like Roam Highlighter to their personal Zettelkasten system. But none of these solutions hit the mark for taking... Source: about 2 years ago

• [q] Index template/website script

  Sounds like you are describing Pocket , if you use Firefox it comes preinstalled, but that’s only if you’re after using it yourself. Source: about 2 years ago

• Daily Discussion Thread: January 28, 2022

  For those looking to bookmark articles for later reference, I would strongly recommend getting Pocket. It allows you to save articles and add tags to them as well. Once you are done reading them, you can archive it and pull it up again if needed. Source: about 2 years ago

• Productivity apps (iOS) that you swear works

  Hey, there are so many productivity apps you can use. For a to-do list app you can try Quire, it's a great app for personal users, I think. You can break down your task in a list view and see your progress in a timeline view. And I also like Pocket to store all the articles or links, even videos that I found interesting but haven't got the time to read them. Good luck! Source: over 2 years ago

• Any free and private bookmark managers?

  I have managed to replace most of my online services with private ones except for Pocket. I just use it for saving links in Firefox, I do not need the reading app functionality. I would go with Memex, but it seems like it will be going into paid mode later this year, and I unfortunately can't afford to pay for anything right now. Nextcloud and self-hosted managers are not an option for me. Source: over 2 years ago
