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 arti

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

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

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

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

Not yet! What I’m doing for now is opening the web version and saving that instead. Not ideal but does the job

Thank you! We do have a list of articles to scroll through on the Search tab :) Seamless saving is on our mind but have to rely on Instapaper/Pocket for saving on the desktop

Thanks a lot for such a detailed reply! I agree with a lot of your feedback but I’m limited by Readymag which I used to create the site which doesn’t allow me to set animations quite right but I’ll try again :)

And a pretty cool Tinder-like interface, stats, streaks, sorting options (including shuffle) and much more!

Ex-Pocket users that have since moved to Alfread would disagree with you :)

Thanks for such an insightful comment! Saving is a big part of read later apps, so we didn’t want users to do too much to start. I agree with you on the onboarding flow as a user, but data shows that it’s the best place to put it actually.

Thank you! Yep, highlights made in Alfread are synced to Readwise. We don’t have annotations yet but stay tuned. Lol, yeah it has been mentioned: someone said that it’s a poor choice of the name since it’s so similar to Alfred. Naming is on

Thanks for sharing! Did anything stand out to you? To be honest, we did it last second but basically we don’t have accounts, don’t store any personal information, and everything stays on your device
