The latest updates to Readwise Reader are (I think) impressive.

Yes! Appreciate the attention being given to iPad and offline reading. Ghost reader and chat still feel like taking their eye off of the ball, but I understand it; itās these timesā¦
A big thing for me going into the new year is to clear out both my unread and read articles. I read for pleasure, not for research or work, so there is no need to hang on to so much stuff in the archive. If itās read and I havenāt highlighted anything, it is getting deleted instead of archived.
I created DoubleMemory: just double ā + C on any text and links it will capture it on mac. iOS uses the share sheet, or siri shortcut (which I hook up to my action button and double back tap trigger), it will capture the current web page on safari or whatever was in clipboard.
Itās also quite different in a few other dimensions: pinterest like masonry grid so you donāt need to click into the cards, launch from menu bar or shortcut, syncs with cloudkit, no accounts needed, a custom immersive reader view that prefers the original web page on iOS/iPadOSā¦
We also offer a pocket importer, for these who are looking for a home.
Also on sale cyber week with our biggest discount ever: https://doublememory.com
My solution is free. I click the Share button in Safari, choose Reminders as the destination, and save the article a Reminders list āReadMeā. Reminders adds the link to the reminder.

I use the good old fashioned Reading List in Safari. It syncs between my iPhone, iPad and Mac and also provides the nice Reader view if the website is too annoying.

I just started using Flyleaf. So far Iām pleased.
I bet no one here uses https://mymind.com but I pay for it anyway. So yeah, Iām using mymind for links as well, itās so beautiful.

Welcome! We have a couple of MyMind users. Itās a lovely-looking app.

Ha! I subscribed to MyMind during a Black Friday read-it-later vision quest. I also subscribed to Matter and Readwise Reader around the same time. MyMind really is a lovely app, but I ended up going with Readwise Reader because I needed a place to actively work with PDFs, ePubs, articles from the web, newsletters, and, occasionally, podcasts and videos, but didnāt need (or want) MyMindās AI magic. (I donāt use the AI tools in Reader, either. Thatās what NotebookLM is for.) I also need a service that automatically exports my highlights to Obsidian.
Because Iām a digital packrat in recovery, I have to be super-disciplined and intentional about what I choose to clip and save. For whatever reason, Iām loathe to pollute Reader with random stuff I stumble across on the internetāitās my space for intentional reading and reflection and I try to keep it tidy. If I really, really have to clip something that doesnāt belong in Reader, my default is GoodLinks.
I just listened to the Vergeās David Pierce (a MyMind fan) interview Sari Azout, the developer of Sublime.app. Sublime sounds like itās working in a space similar to MyMindās, but with a kind of hive mind powering its AI discovery feature and an infinite canvas to use for creation.

The excellent Obsidian Web Clipper! Iāve set up a bunch of different Web Clipper templatesāsome with AI promptsādesigned to populate a YAML header for the resulting note with specific kinds of information depending what Iāll be using the note for. When I come across something that I know Iāll need to read and refer to later, it goes right into my Obsidian inbox. From there I might integrate it into one of my vaults, toss it into a NotebookLM notebook, or delete it if itās served its purpose.

Iāve been using Obsidian for years and I donāt know how I missed this! Thanks for the recommendation.
Glad you found your flow. Iāll make sure to listen to that Vergecast episode. I tried Sublime for a few days maybe half a year ago, but mymind is more visual and private, which is important to me as a designer.

Iāve tried MyMind twice, both on David Pierceās recommendations, and it hasnāt stuck for me either time.
Iām currently using Obsidian with the Web clipper but I feel like I have never found a satisfactory read-it-later/archiving solution. When ReadWise Reader launches Search 3.0 I will likely give that a try.
Purchased goodlinks before subs
Ran self hosted Linkding - pretty satisfactory
Since most of my longer term data goes to devonthink anyway, just setup an extra read-it-later database and used that.
It works well for me, reusing existing tools, rather than yet another app cluttering (not saying itās better, just cleaner)

When using DevonThink as a read-it-later app, how well do you find that works on the iPhone?
I hadnāt thought about it until you asked, ājust worksā
