Ask HN: How do you manage your to-read articles?

Pocket.<p>Even though you already mentioned it, but it made my life so much easier.<p>Since I use it, I have no open tabs anymore. All articles are synced on my Mac, Tablet and Phone. When I wait on the train station for 5 minutes, it is time to read another article from my endless list of resources.

I have a sense of &#x27;pressure&#x27; based on how many tabs and windows i have open. Every week or so, I&#x27;ll go through them with a specific mindset (do I want self improvement, learn about math, new languages, etc) and read as much as I can stomach, and save off the rest in PDF form.<p>This mostly happens on my work laptop. I save these pdfs, or code snapshots, or whatever, into a nifty drive in the sd slot. Separate from work hardware. Usually I run minimum a 128gb drive. They&#x27;re sorted into folders named by high level categories (ai, math, compsci, perspective, reference, etc).<p>Then I have a cronjob to rsync it to my home backup NAS (only when on my home net).<p>I do it this way because I&#x27;ve come to not trust the continuous availability of various online resources. Also, having done a lot of traveling in recent times, I like to take a nice fat archive of reading materials of interest with me wherever I go. It also has the benefit of providing a pseudo-index of reading items when I want to dive deeper.

I use chrome extension hangout <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;google-hangouts&#x2F;nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;google-hangouts&#x2F;nc...</a> for this.<p>I use different chrome user profile for office &amp; Home and suppose I don&#x27;t have time to read some articles or anything,<p>I just send it to my home profile user (hangout) and If I found something at home which will be useful for my office work, I send it to my Office profile user.<p>Even TO DO List, Otherwise for long run I use Chrome Keep Extension <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;google-keep-chrome-extens&#x2F;lpcaedmchfhocbbapmcbpinfpgnhiddi" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;google-keep-chrome...</a> with the labels So I would know Why I saved it.

I used to use Pocket. I would save articles there, but never read them. I have saved over 10,000 links to Pocket.<p>Now I keep interesting articles in a new browser tab. It doesn&#x27;t seem to work too well, as I have over 1000 tabs open on just my phone.<p>I wish Pocket (or it&#x27;s alternatives) had a way to automatically group similar links together, include relevant saved links at the top of my Google search results, sort links by time-relevance (i.e., links to information that expires or become less relevant as time goes), sort links by time to consume (to create some kind of snowball effect, like paying the smallest debts first), etc.

I use OmniFocus and make tasks for article&#x2F;papers&#x2F;books I want to read. Put them into an appropriate project, and get to them when I have time available or I&#x27;m working on that project. I imagine the same workflow would work well with any other task manager. This helps to keep it from being a pile of papers with no priority or context around them.

Bookmark it, then read later? Not quite sure what problem are you running into.<p>I tend to have several directories - for places i asked questions or posted something, for things i want to read, but don&#x27;t have time right now, for things that sound interesting, for &quot;maybe later&quot; and so on.

Dude, go sign up for <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pinboard.in&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pinboard.in&#x2F;</a>. changed my life. Perfect thing.

Just a folder called &#x27;todo&#x27; in the Chrome bookmark bar. Chrome has pretty deep sync abilities these days so you can access your Chrome logins and bookmarks on any device you own.

I used pinboard, it&#x27;s like a minimal version of Pocket
