Alfread

Hey PH, I'm Fedor, founder, and designer of Alfread, along with @tim_velichko. We're excited to be here today! Alfread is a read-later app with a focus on the reading habit. Internet is full of talented writers, articles, and newsletters that are worth reading, not just saving. Our goal with Alfread is to create a place that feels exciting to come back to. For new knowledge from your saved articles, for fresh perspectives on old topics, and sometimes for fun! But a read-later app is not a to-do list. Not every article has to be read, it's not a chore. That's why Alfread helps manage your queue giving quick actions to archiving and snoozing with a familiar Tinder-like interface. We know, how hard it is to start and keep using new apps. To ensure a smooth start and get the most out of Alfread fast, you can connect your Instapaper/Pocket account to sync all your unread links. Here's how @dustin_mccaffree described his experience with the app: "As soon as I signed up, I had content and value. It just uses Instapaper or Pocket like usual for me to collect articles. But then it reminds me to read, lets me set streaks, allows me to "read later" or "archive." Then, if I haven't read them after a month, it'll auto-archive them. Boom 💥" Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Love what you're building here!

Great app, have been beta testing it since day one. It will elevate your reading habit

Most reader apps are just about collecting more and more content. Alfread makes it easy to let go of things that no longer matter. And on top of that the UI and UX design is top notch. Good luck Fedor and Tim!

Great idea, good luck!

Do you have a paid plan? What does it have?

Great realization! With you product people can develop my reading habit. BTW have a suggestion - you could count est time for reading based on content in articles (count symbols, pictures). It will be great if for example, you ask me how many time for reading in a day I have. Depend on my time and saved articles you can divide it by days and add a status bar for day/week, progress so on. How do you think?
