I’m dyslexic and have ADHD while studying and working in mental health. I’ll do self directive research at work to better myself when I have a little ‘ah ha!’ moment, it’s still scattered but naturally I’m interested. While the stuff for study gets sidelined into a doom pile of saved articles and overwhelm. My “to-read” list would just keep growing, and the articles I saved in “read-it-later” apps would often end up being “never-read”.
So I am curious to ask, do you guys use any read-it-later apps? Ever run into any issues while using them?
For me, I use pocket but I quickly fall behind - way more in than out. That’s primarily down to me and my efforts but the application itself does nothing to assist me.
If you’ve had the same struggle, how did you tackle it? Or could you recommend some tools that might help?
Interested in everyone’s thoughts.
I know that Omnivore is a read later app and support self-host solution. Maybe you could give a look or even a try.
I’ve started using Omnivore and like it for organizing, but it doesn’t have some sort of magic feature that’s going to make OP suddenly begin to read things. Linkwarden is another good read it later app for those looking at options.
With that said, one of my selfhosted projects was an ephemeral RSS feed I call infoscope. There’s a limited number of displayed articles pulling from a custom feed list and when they’re gone, they’re gone. Every day you’ve got a number of interesting things to choose from, but no guilt of piling up unread pieces when you find yourself busy with other things.
