I’ve used Pocket every single day for over a decade. From quick-hit reads to long-term storage of, well, my own articles, interviews, and hundreds of interesting longreads I didn’t have time for in the moment — everything went into Pocket. Over time, it became my cross-platform inbox for the web. I’d save articles on my phone while commuting, then dive into them later on my laptop. See something interesting, hit save, move on. I even built up a tagging system, using it to collect research, writing ideas, weekend reads, and other bits I wanted to come back to.
Later, when I had the time and mental space, I’d go back through my queue and catch up, sometimes on an eBook reader, but lately, more often on a tablet or a foldable phone. It became such an integral part of how I consumed the web that Pocket was always one of the first Chrome extensions I’d install on a new laptop or browser.
