1/ I read from pocket 3-4 days per week. Biggest issue recently is the offline and text to speach experience.

1A/ if pocket can extract the text into a reader view, it will cache it for offline viewing. If pocket can’t, then I don’t get to read the article I was expecting to read on the airplane.

1B/ 20-40% of the articles I listen to while walking or driving, but they only work if the reader view is available, I must be connected to the internet, and the voice sounds pre-2022.

1C/ the search function isn’t great. I think if I pay for it, it will do full text search. But I think it’s dumb that I have to pay for ctrl+f.

1.2 not sure what you mean by clean. It’s not well organized. I have like 5 tags I use around topics that might be useful later, but I rarely archive articles or properly tag them.

2/ it definitely happens maybe twice per year. I use Anki occasionally, but only for deep topics (learning a new programming language, leet code), and not to learn blog content

5/ I write code and slack messages daily. I probably write internal documents one to four times per month. I’m trying to write one blog article per week, but it’s more like one month.
