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 πŸ’₯" Give it a try and let us know what you think!

@shkliarau If I can add a small pet peeve: For someone who reads a lot, the confirmation screen after each completed read becomes a bit tiresome.
Fedor Shkliarau
@davidbauer thanks for sending us feedback so quickly, David! We might add this in one of the next updates :) Quick question: how often do you usually highlight articles?
Alex Chernikov
Great app, have been beta testing it since day one. It will elevate your reading habit
Fedor Shkliarau
@alex_chernikov thank you Alex for all your support! πŸ₯°
Tim Vialichka
@alex_chernikov thank you Alex. Your input as a beta tester is priceless for us :)

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!
Fedor Shkliarau
@kaioelfke Thanks Kai! Letting go of things is sometimes painful but so important to free up space for more exciting opportunities to come :)
Andrii Kpyto

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?
Tim Vialichka
@akovalevskyi thanks for your idea! Looks like a great option of v2 :)
Fedor Shkliarau
@akovalevskyi thanks Andrey! Love the idea, we'll think about it πŸ˜€
Kovalevskyi Andrey
@shkliarau YW. Good luck to you! Waiting for the android version ;)
