2.5 weeks ago I learned that Pocket was going to shut down imminently. I used it regularly, for many years, and still had 1461 unread saved articles waiting to be read. I’m pleased to say that I have now read them all - rather miraculous, given that I am asleep literally most of each 24 hours. I am now fully switched back to Instapaper, which I used long before. It also has the advantage of working better with my iPod touch - my main device when resting in bed for so much time - which can’t go newer than iOS 15.

Very sad to see Pocket is closing down. I've used it for 7 years, to save things I want to read later. At the moment I suspect I'm likely to revert to Instapaper, who I left after their service stopped working for a while in the EU/UK due to GDPR. But musing options. Martin also relies on Pocket on a daily basis.
