Omnivore's good. Like, really good

If you're looking for a new "read-it-later" app / looking to replace your existing one (*cough* Pocket *cough*), highly recommend Omnivore #omnivore #readitlater #obsidian

If you are looking for a new “read-it-later” app, I highly recommend Omnivore. It’s cross platform with a web client, an iOS app and an Android app (in early access). It’s also got unlimited highlighting options that also sync with Obsidian.

Interview with Marco Arment, creator of the classic read-it-later app, Instapaper. Ironically, I read this interview in GoodLinks.

The app that freed you from dozens of open browser tabs, by having you stash articles for later Some apps are fleeting.

Marco also created Overcast, my favorite podcast player, and was lead developer of Tumblr from its founding in 2006 through 2010. So he built some of my favorite Internet things. Thanks, Marco!

Apesar de gostar muito do Pocket, não sou muito fã de ler dentro do site deles, geralmente prefiro ler diretamente no site.

Esse script faz isso, redireciona todos os links do Pocket para o artigo original.

Put it in Your Pocket & Read it Later

Put it in Your Pocket & Read it Later

I love reading books, ebooks and articles on the internet. Every time I come across an article, web page, or video I want to read at another time I just use the bookmarklet to save it to my Pocket account. It automatically syncs to your phone, tablet or computer so you can view it at any time, even without an internet connection. If I have something in Pocket that I want to save for reference I…

The Best Read-It-Later Service

by Zack Zarrillo

The Sweet Setup has a good rundown on the best read-it-later services (applicable for both iOS and Android). Instapaper, Pocket, and Pinboard are all examined on the chopping block. I’ve personally used Instapaper for years now, and started using Pocket for separate PropertyOfZack-related items back in January. If you’ve never considered a reading service before, here’s why you might want to:

Read-it-later services can solve all of these problems, helping you save articles to read on your preferred device in a much friendlier, more beautiful format. You could think of these services like Tivo for the Internet. As you browse the web during the day, you can pick and choose the things you want to read, and at night, instead of continuing to browse, you have a hand-picked selection of great material ready for you to read.

Instapaper and Pocket have been neck and neck for the past few years, but recently Instapaper is leaps and bounds ahead in development and features. Recent additions for highlights, note taking, and text shots have pulled me into the app even more than usual. I’m going to begin phasing pocket out for POZ items and likely use Pinboard (and Pinner.app) for links to post on the site.

Since day one, Readability users have requested tagging more than any other feature, hands down. And today we’re making it happen.

Auf diese Funktion in einer meiner bevorzugten "Lies es später" Applikationen habe ich tatsächlich auch lange warten müssen. Jetzt scheint es sehr nutzerfreundlich umgesetzt worden zu sein.
