Let's say you find an awesome article somewhere across the web, but you don't have time to read it. You need to save it for later.
So far I've tried only Pocket. What are your solutions to this?

Mail to yourself, and never return to it :)
Honestly, the right solution for me is to read the article right there and then. "Perfect time is now"
Been there, done that 🤣🤣
That's the only guarantee you will consume the info 📚
Fully agree with this.
Or snooze forever.
Agree to your statement here, I never open my bookmarks.
But still as a suggestion your could check raindrop.io
Do check my solution that I added in the discussion and give your thoughts on it🙏
I use a task manager (Todoist) for it.
Everything I find interesting and want to read later again, I put in a list there. I have set a recurring task everyday that I need to read (something). In addition, every month I go through the list to clean it.
After reading, or cleaning, I find that I want to follow up on an article (e.g. implement it myself, write something about it myself, etc.). Often its not one article, but several related articles. At that moment I create a new task for myself to actually do that, and add the articles in the comments of that task as reference material. That way, they don't clutter my "unclassified" reading list, but I keep them somewhere as a reference still.
I've seen it among the most popular tools for the job, tho never managed to try it, lol 😂😂
I just keep the tab open until there are too many tabs. At that time, if I think that is still worth reading then I read it otherwise I close the tab 😝
Lol, I do the same and then after the reboot I have a hard time to decide whether to restore tabs (due to articles) or to start fresh without any mess to manage tabs 😂😂
I have a few hundred links in my facebook saved items, left over bookmarks from old work accounts and other things scattered here and there. I'm consolidating all of that into a folder in a personal repo and I have a recurring task on todoist to go through some of those. Right now I'm porting everything over and once it's all there, I'll be organising them and doing a small write up of the good points. Ideally I want a knowledge base I can search if and when I need it. But realistically it's all in text files and I don't plan on using anything more complex.
I self-host a Wallabag instance.
I've been thinking about this problem a lot.
I have a huge pile of things I want to read or at least save for future reference. At the moment they are all in TickTick (another to do list app) but to be honest it gets pretty annoying having them clutter up things I actually want to do.
I've even considered writing my own app to solve this.
consider me beta tester number one if you ever do this, seriously.
Sure thing. I'm currently looking for a new side project to work on. I don't know if it'll be this or not but I'd love to discuss it sometime.
I used to use Instapaper (instapaper.com), but after struggling with a huge queue turned to the excellent ReadingQueue (readingqueue.app). You get a queue of your saved articles but have to clear them from the bottom of the stack, and can only skip an article three times.
I've had used the Notion app. I've applied the method GTD (Getting Things Done) and there have a notebook called "References" to put those articles.
So It's working for me.
I use Pocket. I used it for a long time, and native itegration in Firefox only makes it better. :)
I only use Pocket for "read later" stuff and YouTube "watch later" for videos :D
I read from many sources but my only source of "read later" stuff is in pocket and I do read them.
I'm using Notion Web Clipper extension. It scrapes the article to a new notion page.
Take a look at my saves :)
I used to mail myself, when Inbox by Google was around, to snooze then only to be ignored
Then switched to OneNote to store links only to forget them
Then I used to take notes on my ipad only to clutter my notes application
Then finally moved to Pocket
I generally read it at least once before thinking of Read Later
I use the Pocket app. It's easy to use and integrates well across devices (I use the Chrome extension for most saving). Bonus: it works with my Kindle and iPhone (which I usually have with me) so when I only have a few minutes, I can pull up a few articles.
I've a public telegram channel where I will send to-read links, some of my friends are subscribed to it too
