Rationale
GoodLinks is a 'read-it-later' app that allows users to save links, organize them with tags, and add highlights and notes. It focuses on a clean reading experience by removing ads and clutter. While it offers core link saving and organization, it lacks the explicit public sharing features and the 'list and section' structure as described for URList, instead using tags for organization. It also doesn't explicitly mention previews for various media types beyond article text extraction, though it does save the full rich text of articles. The 'contextual side notes' are present as 'notes' attached to highlights.
