TIL that Pocket shut down :(

Was my first read-it-later app. I haven't used it in ages, but still feel like I'll be missing it! I remember setting up IFTTT workflows to spam people when I tagged them on a pocket entry.

There's something bittersweet about apps we've outgrown shutting down. Even if we moved on, knowing they were still there was oddly comforting.
