> If you don't have the time/discipline/motivation to read a article which is in your pant pocket, reminding you about it is hardly going to help your laziness/lack of motivation.

You might be right. But there's also the use case of it being just a timehop for your bookmarks vs. a read your unreads tool.

For me, it's the Inbox-Zero-Guilt, but I guess everyone has a different guilt that they are trying to avoid.

I agree. It's becoming a strain the more I work on it. "Redesign" will be going into the backlog. :)

Yep. Some folks suggested Instapaper too. Personally, I am only on Pocket and hence I started with that.

Where do you store your HN saved links though?

winstonyw··on Learnings from building reread.io
It works now if you push all your Firefox bookmarks to Pocket. :)

Thanks! Didn't expect that "built over the weekend" might send the wrong vibes. True that it doesn't add value in explaining the idea. Will definitely take note.
winstonyw··on Show HN: GitHub File Watcher – get notified when files change in a GitHub repo
Hmm, so I guess there's some sort of manual curation going on for what's interesting and can be posted again? Is there a criteria for such curation? Karma? Past posts? Past comments? Social influence? Who the OP really is? Will the OP also be advised on a better timing to post the link again so that it would have a better chance of getting attention?
winstonyw··on Show HN: REREAD.io – Rediscover those saved and forgotten Pocket bookmarks
Am using a simple random pick from your list of Pocket bookmarks, so hopefully, you wouldn't see the link that you have just Pocketed so quickly. :)

Hi! I built Dasherize. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I'll look into it!

winstonyw··on Show HN: Discover RubyGems usage for a GitHub user or org
That's part of the plan further down the road.

But decided to push something out to the wild first and gather some feedback. Glad you like it. :) Thanks!

winstonyw··on Show HN: Create Javascript charts with one line of Ruby
Good stuff!

The groupdate lib's really handy for quick visualization of data. Nice!

For more complex visualizations, might want to check out GoogleVisualr which I created http://googlevisualr.herokuapp.com/ but that only works with Google Visualizations.
