@robb What are you looking for in a read-it-later app?

I'm currently writing my own web-app, as I'm not satisfied with what Instapaper, Pocket & co. has to offer.
Still a long way away from a public beta-release, but current built features are:

• extract article content
• convert text to speech
• generate podcast episodes from converted articles
• send articles to Kindle

@stefanzweifel that looks very interesting. I actually think I’m looking. For something more simple that what most of them offer. But I’m definitely interested in following the progress of this.

@robb Marvis looks interesting, is that the only way you use to listen to Apple Music? or just to have lastfm also in there?

@ljpuk Yeah it’s the only way I listen, you can customise the home page to have all different categories like this which I like

@robb I only just freed my Home Screen of Huckleberry. It is a mostly crap app (I wish it had Shortcuts support and an Apple Watch app), but being able to see sleep trends over time was really helpful for us

@neilgmacy yeah it is what it is. There is a really nice one that @devondundee uses but I don’t want to pay for it 🙃

@robb @neilgmacy Mango Baby might be the best $10 I ever spent! The widgets and Shortcuts actions are great, and I’ve heard rumblings that an Apple Watch app is in the works.

@devondundee I might have a chat with my wife about this. It looks so much better.
