I’m only saving articles for later (and then videos directly on YouTube). The problem with bookmarks is going back to them (if ever), so I always tend to forget about what I’ve saved and then just google what I need in the moment. With articles it’s a bit different but I used to save a lot of articles to Pocket and then Instapaper, and reading them not too often. Now using Alfread that sends me quotes from saved articles as reminders, so that helps a bit.

Looks like a really cool way to reuse TikTok's format for something more meaningful. Will check it out!

For now there's Readwise integration that lets you export highlights from Alfread to Readwise to then Evernote: https://www.roxinekee.com/blog/readwise No immediate plans to export highlights to Evernote directly for now though. NeuraCache looks really interesting, thanks for sharing!

Agree! Some solutions are for quality of life though

Sounds like a solid workflow! "Purging it every morning" sounds key here since you don't let it sit for ages

The theme should match the background automatically , it doesn't work for you?

Will look into the email today, thank you!

Unfortunately subscriptions are the best way to support ongoing development. Understand it’s not for everyone though

It’s been a question for a long time whether go freemium or just paid with a trial. We went along with freemium since biggest competitors offer that too so we are in a similar position. We don’t collect user data so we can’t sell it

Definitely makes sense! Let us know how it goes :)

Hey Jeff, parsing isn’t our strongest but it’s the very next thing we are improving. What other fonts would you like to see?

Did you see it on the App Store page? We filled that out wrong: we use the location for location-based notifications if the user sets them but don’t collect any data or even know any personal information as we don’t have accounts. We’ll fix it on the App Store page to avoid the confusion
