Wow, I didn’t even realize that Pocket had shut down. I used it a lot back in the day. I just tried it and got the message “server is not responding,” so I guess it is truly gone. I wonder what happened to everything I added? Oh well.
I like that Laytr treats your saved stuff as yours, with a plain export, because that’s what most read-it-later apps get wrong. Just reading through the product page gets me interested. I use other bookmarking apps like Raindrop.io, which does a great job. But if you are looking for something that feels like a close alternative to Pocket, Laytr might be it.
