All links that I want to read in the future I save in Notes on Macbook or iPhone. I know it looks a bit old-fashioned, but I haven’t found a more convenient solution for myself yet.
This list reminds me that there is always something to read.

#72Pinboard has been one of the best paid services I've ever used -- though I bought it back when the lifetime fee was [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8751170

#73I use Trello for basically everything, so I've linked Pocket and IFTT to place an article on my Master Task Board in a list called "Articles to Read"
I usually don't read them steadily, I tend to sit down and clear the list in groupings when I've got time.

#74Open a million of them in tabs, then click One Tab:

Information about your tabs are never transmitted or disclosed to the OneTab developers. The only exception to this is if you intentionally click on our 'share as a web page' feature that allows you to upload your list of tabs into a web page in order to share them with others. Tabs are never shared unless you specifically use the 'share as a web page' button.
Then share as a web page and send myself the link.

#75a) most of the stuff I read instantly, even if just skimming. If important, bookmark it.
b) looks interesting, very long - bookmark it.
c) semi-interesting and/or semi-long - browser tab, to be revisited this week. Sometimes next week.
I use Pinboard for my bookmarks.

#76On Firefox I use great extension Totally not Panorama [0] which gives old tab-groups-like feature. This gives me ability to group tabs around interests. It's like multiple workspaces in a desktop environment. However most of the time I just open a lot of tabs. First I read some low-effort click-bait that I do not deeply care about. Then I read something that I'm actually interested in, but it's somewhere in the middl…
Well for the indexing stuff I recomend Worldbrain[0]. I use it for some time now and was able to find a lot of stuff that would be otherwise lost in my browsing history. It helps mo out when there is this "I know I read something about functors and javascript like two weeks ago". Turns out it was 5 weeks ago but since Wordbrain indexes every page I visit I do not have to scroll through 2k history entries.

#77My approach has always been to open them in a new tab and then ignore them until I finally decide it's time to clean up my browser session and discover the article doesn't exist anymore or has become irrelevant.
I never said it was a good approach.

#78Sorry to learn about these missing articles in Pocket. We'd like to try and help you track them down if we can. If you're interested, just click "Contact Pocket Support" at https://help.getpocket.com/ and reference this post, and someone on our team will take it from there. Regarding your other comment, Pocket offers basic search (title and URL) for free, and Pocket Premium includes full-text search so you can find t…
Appreciate you responding to this thread. Now that you're here:
I love Pocket, but I feel the "Discover" feature could be greatly improved. I do find great articles in there, but you could spare your users some scroll fatigue by giving them more options on the Context Menu's "Hide This".
Right now the options aren't great, because when I hit "It's not Relevant to Me" on yet another Medium.com article about Gary Vee and "the hustle", it doesn't seem to change the number of low-quality recommendations I get on this topic from similarly low quality domains like "forbes.com" and "huffingtonpost.com". Letting users filter out certain domains (like how you can filter subreddits using RES extension) would be a great way to restrict the "Discover" feature to high quality stuff. That alongside the original unfiltered, content (called "Top Reads" for example) would give me the best of both worlds.
I hope you'll consider it!

You are not alone. :)

#80I just hit "Send to..." in Firefox and send it to a different device than what I am currently using. If I'm using my tablet, I send it to the desktop. If I'm using my desktop, I send it to my tablet.
Eventually many things get tagged in Zotero anyhow.
