have you checked out Omnivore? I think it should tick all your boxes, plus it’s open source and in active development. I switched over a few months ago and haven’t looked back since.

@philbowell I have! Their text-to-speech is best in class. But I’m not a big fan of their interface. I’m keeping an eye on it, and occasionally share a long article there to listen to it.

fair enough, there are some quirks to the UI that could be improved. I dislike the Mac app so use the web instead.

@philbowell I’ll keep it in the running; you’re right about it checking many of my boxes.

What are your thoughts on Matter? I’ve settled on it for now, though I’m giving Instapaper another look given the update.

@joeross I’ve bounced in and out of it over time. Something about the design just doesn’t stick for me, but I’m always keeping an eye on it. 👀
