Thanks for such an insightful comment! Saving is a big part of read later apps, so we didn’t want users to do too much to start. I agree with you on the onboarding flow as a user, but data shows that it’s the best place to put it actually. You miss 100% of shots you don’t take kind of situation. But we’re trying to not be too pushy about it. Let us know how it goes!

Liking it so far. You do a good job of explaining how to activate the share extension, which is not an easy task!

One low-hanging fruit is to have an option for the page background color to match the system theme dynamically, instead of having to set it into day/night mode manually each time.

I also sent you guys a separate email regarding a collaboration possibility with my company's reading enhancement tech. I hope my emails is buried under a pile of front-page-of-HN-inbound-messages! Congrats on your launch.

The theme should match the background automatically , it doesn't work for you?

Will look into the email today, thank you!

You're right — the theme does match the system theme automatically! The UI in the Aa setting doesn't indicate this will happen, but it's a nice surprise that the default behavior is to match the system theme. Well done!
