They’re not really that frequent.

what’s with the pricing model?

I just didn’t feel like integrating the Stripe API. I also think it’s nicer this way. Not everyone might derive $5 (or any fixed amount) worth of value from forlater; maybe you didn’t save as many articles this month to warrant paying $5. And some simply can’t afford to pay a fixed amount, or at all.

how is this better than Pocket?

Let’s see…

• You own your data. It lives right in your inbox!
• You don’t need yet another account or app. Just simple email.
• We’re open source!

That said, Pocket has a full-fledged engineering team working on it, so their article parsing is probably better.

are you tracking me?!

Nope. You can audit our code here. The email ID, and the link you saved are both logged for easier debugging.

are you open source?

Yes, as mentioned previously (twice!), we are open source — licensed under (A)GPL. See:

• https://github.com/forlater-email
• https://git.icyphox.sh/forlater

you keep saying ‘we’; how many of you are there?!

I’m just one guy. ‘We’ just sounded right, I guess. Feel free to email me at x@icyphox.sh to report any issues.
