Pocket is going away... Let's build a replacement with Solid!

time16 d agoview26 views

Some years ago Mozilla bought Pocket, a popular Read Later app. But today, they're shutting it down. Does this story ring a bell? It's certainly not the first time I see it, and that's why I've been moving all my apps to Solid in the recent years. In this video, I'll share how to build a Pocket replacement with Solid with the framework I'm working on, Aerogel.
