Love the desktop app and the web app as well. I want to completely adopt this to replace my use of Instapaper, Pocket, Evernote, and Zotero combined. However, it falls short for me in:
- current Chrome page to extension to local viewer to document repository is a very clunky and uncomfortable workflow (similar to the old, outdated software Zotero I'm trying to replace)
- Chrome extension can't save a webpage to the webapp or to the Linux app running in a container, so, mostly useless on a Chromebook, which is my main research machine
- no Android app and no plan for deep integration with Android ecosystem even if an app is developed
- expected pricing plan with pretty severe usage limitations planned for the future makes the "better than Evernote" and "you're in control of all of your own data" claims hard to swallow

Great extension to save web articles for offline reading

So far so good, this clipped an article and seamlessly sent it to Polar for reading later.

I've recently tried the Evernote Web Clipper, Liner, Mind Forger, and Anki, in an attempt to:

1. save articles for later
2. read and annotate
3. review

Right now, Polar shows the most promise. One clear advantage is that it's not in-browser and therefore less likely to distract me while reading.
