CLUSTER READ-ARTICLES-LATER · 11 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2011-01-22
Offline reading and save-later apps
This cluster comprises applications for saving and reading written content offline, typically from self-hosted services, with features like syncing, archiving, and distraction-free reading. The dated entries are sparse and irregular, appearing from January 2011 to May 2026 with no discernible trend. The traction leaders, all with 0 stars, are inkboard, CO3, and TTRSS-Reader.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
