the challenge
Everyone’s read-later list is where good intentions go to die. The product question was not how to save more, but how to bring the right thing back at the moment you’d actually read it.
the approach
Prioritize, don’t pile up
We designed around resurfacing: the app decides what to show next based on context, so the list stops being a guilt pile.
A reading experience worth opening
Typography, pacing, and calm were treated as features, because the best save list is the one you enjoy returning to.
Not how to save more, but how to bring the right thing back at the moment you’d actually read it.
