Pocket. Solid for nine years so far, judging by my oldest archived page.

Instapaper. I gave in and started paying for their subscription. It’s worth it. No other tool has come close to the simplicity, cleanliness, and power of Instapaper for me. It can handle most links, most ad removal, most paywalls.

The team became stagnant for a long time. But they recently declared they want to start reinvesting time into the product. That included doubling the premium pricing. But it’s the first change in pricing in almost 10 years. So it’s long overdue.

I use Pocket but I've been meaning to self-host Omnivore

Read later feature in Reeder for articles and Raindrop.io for all other links

Browser bookmarks. My trick is I make a new folder every month, for example “2024-01 Bookmarks”, and put it in the bookmarks bar. Whenever I realize I’m leaving a tab open because I want to look at it later, I put it into the current folder. That way I know it’s not lost and I give myself permission to close it.

When a new month comes around, I stick the previous folder in an “Archive” section and make a new one. It costs nothing to keep them forever, but avoids the current list getting out of control.

Raindrop browser plugin.

Omnivore. Telegram messages. Obsidian

I used to have a folder in my internet favorites. Then browsers did away with browser favorites and I switched to having a "remind me later" section of my Discord server.

If I'm on my computer, I use Push Bullet. It sends the link directly to my phone but I can also go back to the Push Bullet app anytime and find it. If I'm on my phone, I just keep that tab open on Chrome until I read it.
