I miss Pocket! Looks cool, cute graphics. Good luck with your app!

I see only a Google login. On principle, I never let any third-party service know what other services I am using.
Without a traditional login this is as user-hostile as a complete stranger’s wireless webcam mounted in your bedroom or bathroom.
I am liking what I am seeing, and will gladly use this once it has a traditional login + TOTP 2FA.

Looks good! Is there a bulk import or something? I have a lot of unread articles saved in my Vivaldi Browser :/

Is there an offline mode planned? That's one of the features I miss most from Pocket.

I was a heavy Pocket user. It shut down. So did Perch, and Artifact, all within a couple of years. They had one thing in common: simple, single-purpose apps for people who wanted to read, and that kind of app doesn't survive on its own.
So I built my own over a weekend, mostly so I'd stop losing the essays I meant to come back to. Clean reader, audio for walks, search, public collections. It's free. It's rough in places and things will break, but I'll keep fixing them.
The browser extension is open source: https://github.com/mahmoudalwadia/readit-extension
The app is the small part though. I wrote about why I read essays here: https://mahmoudalwadia.com/writing/essays
