Your reading list, with a date.
A docket for your read-it-later articles. Now arrives to you every weekend like a magazine.
You saved it because it mattered. Then it sat there for a year. Docket gives every article a court date. Read it, adjourn it a week, or dismiss it by Sunday.
Read-later lists only ever grow.
Every other one keeps your articles forever, so the pile gets bigger and the guilt gets heavier. Docket does the opposite.
Each article gets a court date: the first Sunday at least a week after you saved it. Read it, adjourn it a week, or let it go. What you ignore is dismissed. The list stays short enough to finish.
Save. Read. Decide.

Author, dates, section, tags, reading time and a summary, kept with each save.

Where it stands.
Docket runs in Chrome on a computer. A phone version is next. It saves what your browser shows, so pages that need a login save only if you can read them. It is an independent project, free to use.
