Small Complaints about Pocket

Small complaints about Pocket

General

  • The entry titles are sometimes picked very badly. Examples:

(Personally, I would be most happy if Pocket just used <title>.)

The web app

  • Clicking on an item on /a/queue/ opens up a "readable" version. I most often prefer the original version.

  • Clicking on "view original" on /a/read/{id} opens a new tab. Really annoying!

  • The old "mark as read" bookmarklet is defunct.

  • http://getpocket.com/unread is still online, but slightly defunct.

The Mac app

  • No integration with Delicious.

  • What is this app's raison d'être?

The Firefox add-on

  • There's no favorite button in the reading list (like in /a/queue/).
