User reviews

Simple, Great

Great reading list app! As the title says, this app is simple, which is why it’s great. It doesn’t try to do too much, it just works.

Appreciate the philosophy

But can we at least see the titles of what we have saved?

Thanks for the great app, it seems chrome extension need to upgrade to manifest v3

“This extension is no longer available because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions.”

Love the concept

Really like the idea and concept and could see myself using this app a lot more if a couple of things were fixed.

1. The quiche browser is awesome with built in ad blocking- why does this reader not block ads? I would love to be able to read this in more of an e-reader format, but at a minimum it should block ads by default.

2. It needs dark mode. I could see myself wanting to read articles later at night but I typically like to limit blue light after certain hours. I would love to have the articles offered in dark mode similar to the dark mode feature in the Quiche browser.

3. If I could download the article content to read later. Think this would be great for the plane where I could kill time reading articles I’ve set aside to read.

Otherwise I love the simplicity here. I saved things to Pocket from Firefox but I find myself almost never going back to read the articles I’ve saved. I think the simplicity from this reader would make me read the articles I’ve saved but I would like some of the same reader functionality where I’m closer to the content of the webpage instead.

Wonderful app

This app is absolutely wonderful. It’s EXACTLY what I needed, and I’m grateful it actually exists. Suggestion: the implementation of a widget displaying your next read would be interesting.

Instead of a daunting list, Quiche Reader shows you only the first article in your queue. You must interact with it (read, archive, delete, or snooze) before the next article appears. It also automatically removes articles not read within 30 days and prioritizes older saved articles to prevent them from being forgotten.
