Very much agree that Pocket has gotten worse as I've used it over the years. It's so bad I've mostly moved to the much better Readwise (https://readwise.io/). I'd be fully over if they actually supported a decent export (see below). It's sad because I'm probably in the 99th percentile of Pocket users in terms of usage and am happily paying them for Premium.

I can't remember a significant improvement to Pocket in 2 years. Meanwhile, here's a non-exhaustive list of major, basic features that don't work: -Searching my own archive. This works maybe 75% of the time on articles I am 100% sure are in there. -Having a "permanent copy" of articles. This is Pocket's version of "full self driving," in that it doesn't mean what you think it means. -The ability to do any sort of advanced search. Pocket's web app has had a regression for exact match searching or multiple word searching for the longest time. I've raised numerous tickets with support and never get any meaningful responses. -Reliability of text to speech. There have been weeks-long spells where the better TTS voices just don't work. -Highlight exports or really any decent API interactions.

I'm guessing that this software is just on life support now. I'd love to hear from someone actually at Mozilla on what's happening with this software. What's been the headcount on this project?

Anyway, anyone on Hacker News is almost certainly served better by Readwise. Matter also looked promising but they didn't have an Android app so I never bought in.
