Is this a Pocket integration that allows Pocket users to highlight in Pocket or does this just mean that we can import our saved Pocket articles to Liner and highlight there?

I wish this was on Pocket's Mac App.

Why not just use Instapaper directly?

@huangdun Instapaper or Evernote highlights are just highlighted text. With LINER we save your highlights separately. In the future, each highlight will be an independent part that can be moved and curated.

This is a great service / idea and I too often find myself saving articles to Pocket where all I want is really one nugget of wisdom for future reference. I'm curious - why do you think Pocket hasn't built this feature yet themselves?

@ryanstu89 Personally, I think Pocket is fully focused on providing the world's best "save article feature" and "reader-mode". And simply don't have the resources to create an amazing highlighting service.

@57metpob The Android version will come out in about 3~5 months. I'm also looking forward to the Android version!

It looks like "connecting" my Pocket to Liner in fact "imports" all my Pocket articles into Liner?

@dashlaryea LINER simply "mirrors" you Pocket articles. Your Pocket articles will remain in Pocket. LINER cannot alter your Pocket articles in any way.

We initially started LINER as a simply iPhone App, now we have a Chrome, iPhone, and Firefox Extension.

Look forward to LINER for Android! The Android app will come out in about 3-5 months.

@jinukim21 This is great! Any way I can receive a notification for that? Koz, that's where I'd need this functionality the most - while commuting and reading Pocket from my phone.

Hey Hunters, This is Jinu, the CEO of LINER. Pocket is an amazing service, we use Pocket everyday to save articles to read-it-later. However, I find that the reason I save articles is to re-read that one sentence. I save a long-form essay, then frantically scroll the essay to find my phrase. Save your favorite articles with Pocket, then save your favorite sentences with LINER. LINER for Pocket helps you highlight and save your favorite sentences from Pocket for FREE! Simply login to LINER, connect to Pocket, and start highlighting. Happy Highlighting~ Jinu from LINER (CEO) P.S. Feel free to ask us any questions about LINER in the comment section below, We don't eat, sleep, or blink so your questions will be answered in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

@mwtbrowser Glad LINER could help :)

I was reading an article a few days ago and I was like 'why do I need to save the whole thing??! I literally need one sentence...' Wanted to build a tool for it myself when I had the time but you guys just made my life easier haha. This is so awesome!

@ptolideh I find that the reason I re-read articles is because of "one" sentence. The Pocket articles I favorited is because I needed "one" sentence. LINER makes it easier to find that "one" sentence.
Pooya Tolideh
@mynhpark not to be a nagger, but your app lost my highlights when I put them in a folder. Got the 404. I think you should look into that bug as its a serious core malfunction

@ptolideh Sorry for the trouble :( We'll look into your issue. Please send us your LINER username and bug report at contact@getliner.com

I primarily use Pocket for reading my articles. As I'm a readaholic and only read clean text. It's great that I can finally highlight my Pocket articles.
Ji Young Park
@mynhpark Personally I use Instapaper. But I'll give Pocket a try
Mark W. Kaigwa
@jiyoungpark922 @mynhpark Yes, this is why I left Pocket honestly. Instapaper's highlight/takes and export to Evernote is so so so so smooth and necessary. Not to mention they have a better catalog of typefaces to read with. Try it and see how you like it but you're already using the better service for highlighting/note-taking, IMO.

It's great that I have a central feed for both LINER and Pocket. I find that highlighting articles helps me really understand articles. By physically dragging my mouse over sentences. The phrase is better engrained in my mind. Save your reading for later with Pocket, Save your highlights for later with LINER. Pocket is great for saving basic pages, LINER is great for saving sentences. In the future LINER might include various feeds, similar to Feedly. Pocket, Instapaper, Chrome Bookmarks, and eBooks. Your Pocket articles are mirrored in LINER in real-time, so you always have your most recent Pocket articles ready to highlight. Highlight your Pocket articles! Highlight the world! LINER is also building LINER for Firefox. You can highlight articles on your Firefox browser. People used to be confused on Pocket. They understand that there would soon be a flood of content and there would be no way to consume all the published content in one sitting. Hence, we needed a Read-it-Later service.

Hello LINER, Hello World

LINER integrates with various services alongside Pocket. Another primary integration is with Evernote. You can easily export your highlights to Evernote.

I know that technically Instapaper and Pocket do the same thing, personally I find the Pocket design more appealing.
Kaylee Song
@mynhpark I just cannot use Instapaper, it feels too much like a newspaper.

Congrats of Pocket being acquired by Mozilla Firefox!
Kaylee Song
@mynhpark Actually I'm a bit curious to how much Pocket was acquired for.
Min Park
Maker
@jbschaff @kaylee_song Not sure why they didn't publicly announce the amount :0

You can also import Instapaper articles, alongside Pocket articles
Ji Young Park
@mynhpark What services are you planning on integrating in the future?

I sometimes drag my mouse along Pocket articles, to mimic highlighting online.

@mynhpark I used to use a highlighter pen, now I think I might use LINER

@fishsander Oops, it seems like our marketing manager went a bit overboard. We'll tell him to stop commenting.
Sander Visser
@jinukim21 The same thing happened on LINER for iOS, by you. Seems like you're just trying to up the amount of comments and you've got a little upvoting team ready to upvote your own comments. Not cool.
Nick Nish
@fishsander Spammy 😟. I'm not entirely sure what different about this launch than their previous integration.
Huy Zing
@jinukim21 Absolutely terrible. You realize how bad this makes you look? Tone-deaf

@huyzing I agree. I should've checked quickly enough at the beginning of this mess. Sorry for this messed up comment section. We tried to remove the mess but there was no way to turn it back. We are usually better than this so we've discussed a lot and split up with some marketing guys who were responsible for this. This will never happen again. Sorry for messing up this section again.
