Been using Reader as my primary reading + save for later app for a few months. It's truly a joy — it's fast, simple, and works really well. There's obviously a cold-start problem where you need to use it for a bit to get most of the value, so I'd encourage anyone here that's interested in a similar app to give it a couple weeks.
- easy to send articles to it (with or without highlights) from any platform I use (Android, iOS, Chrome), or by forwarding emails, or by subscribing to mailing lists using the reader email address
- nice way to read Twitter threads
- nice workflow for creating flashcards from highlights
- keyboard shortcuts on web
- reading feels immersive, and choose a next article is easy
I am usually reluctant to add yet another monthly subscription, but this is so nice that I paid for an annual subscription a couple of hours after I started using it.
Exact same experience for me. They’ve done a great job of combining all the disparate parts of the digital reading experience and it’s only been getting better over the months since the devs are extremely responsive to feedback and they implement changes quickly.
