I’m curious: with that many saves, what were you main reasons for using Pocket? Did you glean info at scale or is it just the case that you saved so much, read some subset, and it grew over time?

The initial idea was nice: do not lose what you want to read later (the list), keep a list of what you read (archive). Then it became better with “Permanent copies”: never lose content you want to read again later.

That number is a combination of all three, plus more than a decade of active use.

Damn, any alternatives in mind for that workflow?

My killer feature that led me to start using Pocket was Kobo integration: I could hit a button on my computer and continue reading an article on my ereader, duly cleaned up.

		Since I'm slowly moving to self-hosting, I'll be installing Wallabag[0] most probably. I also integrated my Kobo with Pocket with glee, but it turned into gloom when my saves ate all of the free memory of the reader :) [0]: https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag
