Looks like he still cannot get over with Pocket. They were supposed to clone features from Instapaper etc. I paid for both Instapaper and Pocket (when it was still named Read It Later and had paid version on Android). I stopped using Instapaper and used Pocket exclusively because Pocket is simply much better piece of software. Period. On iOS and of course on other platforms Pocket can run but Instapaper can&#x27;t.<p>He wrote &quot;They’re coming with shitty apps and fantastic business deals to dominate the market, lock down this open medium into proprietary “technology”, and build empires of middlemen to control distribution and take a cut of everyone’s revenue.&quot;<p>Well, what if they are coming with _better_ apps and fantastic business deals.. ?<p>Being an indie dev (or a small indie company) does not automatically make you a better developer &#x2F; software maker than anyone else. Part of that may be lack of resource, but maybe just maybe you&#x27;re competing with someone better.
