After Google Reader died in mid-2013, I imported all my feeds into Feedly, which I've been using ever since. That makes for a lot of content that's swept towards me. Let me now give you a quick rundown on how I use it in combination with Feedly and other services.Ĭurrently, I've subscribed to about 35 RSS feeds. So far, I've talked about why I chose Pocket over Instapaper. Like this, I can simply pick up my iPad and continue to read where I left off on my desktop. Pocket synchronizes my reading position for each saved item across devices and platforms.Oftentimes, I remember having read a blog post about a certain topic, which I'm able to quickly pull out of my archive like this. I like being able to search through my entire archive.

Not so with Pocket: The extension asks for your credentials once and then stores them, but not using cookies. Since I've configured Chrome to delete all browsing data (including cookies) when closing the last tab, I had to re-login to Instapaper every browser session. Some blog posts include source code in a format that isn't always displayed correctly in the text-only view, sometimes not at all.Īnother good thing is the Pocket browser extension for Google Chrome. The thing I like best about Pocket is the possibility to not only download the text version of an article for later offline use, but also the original HTML view. I was happy with it - until I took a look at Pocket, which I like even better.

Also, there are apps available for both iPhone and iPad, which I mostly use for reading. Instapaper's web interface is organized, its reading view is clean, and the 'Read Later' bookmarklet works nicely. Up until recently, I've been using Instapaper to keep track of blog posts (and other text material) that I intend to read later. Managing My Reading List with Feedly & Pocket January 28, 2014
