Pocket

Pocket is a 'read-it-later' service that enables users to save web content for offline and distraction-free consumption. It also offers a discovery feature to find new articles and videos based on various topics. The service is in the process of shutting down.

Pocket is primarily a 'read-it-later' service that allows users to save articles, videos, and links from across the web to consume later. While it has a 'Discover' section that recommends content and categorizes it by topics, it does not function as a publishing platform for writers to create and monetize their own content, which is a core aspect of Medium. The website explicitly states that Pocket is shutting down, which impacts its current functionality and future viability. It lacks features like a rich text editor for content creation, membership monetization for writers, and detailed reader engagement metrics for authors.
