No. I come here because it's an entertaining distraction, but there are few articles I feel I have to read. So I normally visit every few hours, open a bunch of interesting articles and comment threads on the homepage, start reading one or two, realise I have better things to do than read said articles, close half of them without looking at them, and read/skim the one or two that remain, if they look especially interesting. I also often use the "mark all as read" feature in my RSS reader to get rid of a backlog of articles.

This is why tldr.io is useful. I can get my HN lazy-tabs down to 40 per visit.

Maybe. In which case, all the more reason to do it!

It seems much more sane, even when my machines have 8GB+ of RAM to simply have a "read later" bookmark folder on your bookmark bar^. I have my bookmark bar shown with single icon hot shortcuts, a blank folder with all my bookmarks and a simply "revisit" folder with articles, youtube videos, whatever to read during downtime. (I guess quite simply I don't trust my browser or session recovery enough to do that).

Plus, Chrome Sync means I get those free on my mobile too. Nice for when I'm stuck a waiting room or something.

Also, isn't there a whole class of "read it later" type services? Seems a bit much overhead for me.

^ tip, you can drag the padlock/favicon next to the URL right onto/into your "revisit" bookmark folder too, in case you didn't know
