I remember using it fondly, saving articles on desktop to read later during commutes or downtime rather than doomscrolling. I might be misremembering but initially their app was great for reading, but then it just started loading the web page rather than text optimized? Maybe I’m misremembering or getting apps mixed up, but I remember it being great for a good chunk of time
RSS is just early doomscrolling. RSS is not a feed of my choices for articles, it’s my choice of content sources.
With that said, I’ve used these readers before and simply can’t get on with them. I just procrastinate whether it’s a new tab or saved in an app. Some people like them though.
Its like a bookmark and reader mode tool all in one. But the websites start doing something and it can’t reliably strip all the shit around the text I want to read

This sounds like something that was fixed by RSS twenty years ago.

I had it as an add on and really liked it. Then Mozilla took it over. Made it worse and forced it on everyone. Then killed it. Truly stupid.
