I'm mostly using a RSS reader, tagging articles as "read later" and/or starring the ones i want to save.
For quite some time i used Feedly, it's a great tool, but i was missing some features so i've built Aktu (https://aktu.io): I can follow twitter users and Facebook pages as RSS feeds, and soon Quora topics. Everything is automatically categorized, with names of people, companies, etc... extracted, same story articles are grouped together as in Google News even for the items in my own feeds. And i'm adding a pdf export feature available in the next few weeks.
Ask HN: How do you keep track of the articles you want to read?

#32The best thing about Pocket for me is the Kobo integration. I can seamlessly send articles I might find interesting from my laptop or phone, then read them while on-the-go or in bed with the lights off using a device meant for reading.
Re: Ask HN: How do you keep track of the articles you want to read?
#33My approach has always been now or never. I don't have a read it later list. Sometimes this gets stressful to me if I want to read through a lot of content, but it motivates me to just burn through all of it quickly.
If I don't have time to read it, I'll skim it. Same with youtube videos, if I don't have time I'll skip through it or play-it-back faster. I use pinboard though after I've either skimmed an article I found interesting, or read it. Exception is with reddit and medium, I don't use pinboard for those sites, rather I use their built in tools.
For ongoing projects / links I use often, those go in google chrome bookmarks. I don't really have a searchable archive except for my note's app, pinboard, and google.
If you want to save tweets or posts, just put a like on them so you can check your profile → your likes. If you want to take it further, go scrape yourself.

#36Pocket for me, but I've been very lazy with it over the past few years, to the point where I almost operate it like a stack which gets bigger over time.
I was thinking of writing a thing to surface the older/not touched articles near the top so they have more of a chance of being read but in reality that's probably just a fools errand
Re: Ask HN: How do you keep track of the articles you want to read?
#37I keep the most important ones opened in a Chrome tab until a read and save it to Pocket.
The less important ones I save to Pocket until it comes the day I get to read them on spare time or by necessity.
The ones I know I'll repeatedly query for info (like tutorials/technical articles/documentation) I save in a categorized folder on Chrome's bookmark bar

#38Tools like Diigo may be helpful for you not only to read, but annotate what you want to remember about everything by topic.

#39I used to use instapaper, but I find that I almost never actually read the articles that I saved so I don't do it much anymore.
Re: Ask HN: How do you keep track of the articles you want to read?
#40I used to save articles to read in the future, but not anymore. If I want to read something, I can usually open HN or reddit and find something I'm interested in. However, I think this says more about the general low quality of articles published today (that they're not worth saving).
I'm usually using the 'save' button on reddit or the 'favorites' on HN. If it isn't on either of those sites, I'll then try to submit it to the appropriate sub and save that.
It works because I'm logged into reddit & HN on most of my devices.
That said, I rarely look back at the stuff I've saved.
