I still use links pretty regularly. Not to the exclusion of modern browsers of course, but sometimes it's nice to read longer articles as actual text without all the fluff, and to be able to stop reading and then continue a session on another computer (w/ tmux). The only thing I find mildly annoying is that HN comment threads get flattened.
- mahmoudhossam 13y agoYou might want to consider using pocket. http://getpocket.com http://getpocket.com
- sadris 13y agosounds like google keep
- Spittie 13y agoKeep is a totally different service. You can compare Pocket with Instapaper, ReadItLater and similar sites.
- jonathansizz 13y agoTo explain further: Pocket (and equivalent) 1] strips out all the extraneous cruft from an article, keeping only the text (in a typeface and font size of your choosing) and any included photos/videos; 2] acts as a centralized archive of articles, which can be tagged and favourited at will (so you don't need to bookmark articles in the browser for later reading); and 3] is available across multiple devices (phones, tablets, PCs) for a single account, including offline access. It's an awesome experience to simply right-click-save interesting articles in your desktop browser during a work break, knowing that you'll be able to read them whenever and however you like, for example on your tablet in bed in the evening.
- cocoflunchy 13y agoPocket is actually ReadItLater rebranded ;)
- antihero 13y agoIs there any reason to switch to pocket over Instapaper?
- mahmoudhossam 13y agoI remember switching from Instapaper to pocket, don't remember why though. Give it a try yourself, that's the only sure way to find out.
