HN – Ask HN: Does a good "read it later" app exist?

I feel crazy to ask. Over my lifetime, I have seen endless bookmark and read-it-later apps come and go. I've done research today, and most of the things I come across are dead and gone, or seem abandoned somehow. I'm aware of Instapaper. I haven't tried it (yet).

Here are some thoughts on what might fit my personal taste: - lightweight - very cheap - self-hosting might be nice, since I have a VPS currently - I'd like to easily dump an open tab into a backlog, and get reminded about it later: maybe I go to the app, maybe I get a daily email of suggestions. If I don't feel like reading the page, I can "snooze" it or otherwise put it back in the backlog (or drop it)

I think that's all I really want. I don't need notes or AI summaries or multiple apps for multiple devices, etc.

I might just build it, but curious if anyone has something they love.

Thanks!
