If I come across an article I want to come back to, I add it to my Zotero [1]. You can choose what level of snapshot to capture; I save thorough enough webpages to not have to worry about linkrot.
I already had Zotero set up for academic papers, but it probably is good enough to recommend over pocket or Unroll.me or any other ersatz solution.
It has browser plugins, syncing, both tags and folders, and it's free. You can pay them to sync larger files if you like, or you can use Zotfile.

- dredmorbius 3y agoZotero (and possibly Calibre) seem to be the tools best suited to serious archival, based on what I've seen. Sadly, no full-featured Android apps.
- MengerSponge 3y agoThe Android app deficiency is probably because Apple & Microsoft totally dominate the tablet market, and academics generally aren't interested in managing references on their phones ;)
- dredmorbius 3y agoAre there iOS apps? Note that e-ink ereader tablets are often Android-based. None are iOS based. And those devices are not "phones". (Most lack phone capabilities entirely, though there are also a few e-ink smartphones. I'm not talking about those here though.)
- MengerSponge 3y agoZotero shipped their first-party iOS app a little over a year ago. It looks like people are asking for a better reMarkable solution, and I'd love to see that too! In the mean time, the zotfile plugin has solid tablet-syncing features. It isn't slick like modern cloud sync services, but it's functional and fast when you click the button.
- dredmorbius 3y agoThanks, good to keep in mind. Though, again, I (and my archive) largely live on my e-ink ebook reader, and that is an Android device.
