I always wondered why do people use Pocket. I just use bookmarks - for example: on the bookmarks toolbar in my browser, I have a folder named "movies to watch". I just drag the tabs into that folder. Isn't that similar to Pocket?
My brain being fried from the brainrot and not being able to comprehend "save to read later" probably also plays a part.
It had Kobo integration. I’m sure there’s alternatives, but it was nice to bookmark long form things on the computer to read on a flight later for example.
Premium Pocket actually cached a copy of the page.
It also had human-curated recommendations.
Pocket was pretty useless, but I want a service to share links with my friends. Maybe a federated one, but without votes. Like I just want to bookmark something and show it to my friends and see what they are looking at
How about long-press on the address bar, then choose "Copy"? You can paste the link in the chat box with your friend.
That's the problem, all of my friends are on different platforms
We don't even have a federated chatting platform that everyone use. The average person is not going to go around verifying their sessions in matrix
Maybe linkhut then? https://drewdevault.com/2025/03/27/2025-03-27-Using-linkhut.html
Great, that's something I will check out, thanks
