Raindrop.io 17+

I’ve been using this for a while now, and while it can sometimes be a little unstable, it’s generally pretty good and I now use this in preference to the local bookmarks in web browsers and Twitter

I’ve used Pocket for years before moving to Diigo, which was good but outdated, and honestly this has been the absolutely best app for managing bookmarks and just anything you want to save to read later. The desktop app, mobile app, and Chrome extensions.. and the web app (!) are ALL amazing. I’m a software engineer and don’t like to use apps that aren’t open source, but this is a major exception for me. The developer is incredibly responsive and there is a wonderful community where you can vote for things you want to see in the app or report bug fixes, and it actually gets looked at. UI is nice but not overdone. I paid for an annual subscription to this app and never once have regretted it. Highly recommend, thanks for making this app.

I originally got raindrop as an alternative to pocket but the extension especially has become a real pain to use, it used to be so streamlined which isn’t the case anymore. If you were saving several links with the same category it used to learn and then auto populate this for the next one which doesn’t happen anymore, selecting a category doesn’t filter the tags so you get ALL tags for ALL categories instead of just the tags for the selected category which is incredibly time consuming.

Sometimes selecting the extension on iPhone, in the share menu makes safari freeze and you have to completely close safari for it to do anything again, it’s been a problem for a long while and dev hasn’t responded to any bug reports unfortunately.

In the app itself, thumbnails never load so I have no idea what I’m even looking for half the time

I can see there’s occasionally App Store updates but nothing seems to get fixed? I don’t understand what the dev is doing honestly. I’m very frustrated by the app at this point and have moved back to pocket until the numerous and mounting issues and design flaws are addressed, sadly I don’t think this will happen. Huge shame
