Re:Ask HN: What does your ideal “read it later” service look...

I like Safari’s Reading List, except for the fact it’s chained to Safari. What it does right is that it gets the whole page (i.e. it’s not just a reader view) and auto-downloads on the phone so it’s available offline.
I’d like something that is browser-agnostic, has the option to download videos for offline viewing (for the websites supported by youtube-dl[1], let’s say), and can be controlled via the command-line.
I wouldn’t pay a subscription for it because I dislike subscription pricing and my current system is good enough (a mix of Pinboard’s reading list and Alfred[2] Workflows). Take my points as “pie in the sky” ideas you may wish to implement if you like them, but I’m unlikely to be a customer.
