A question for y’all: how do you save things you find on your phone or tablet that you want to look at on your computer?

@smith Well it depends. Are you talking iOS/macOS exclusively or is Windows PC involved? And is it just links or also pictures? So many possibilities. IF I was iOS/macOS only, I guess my answer would be Reeder's read it later features for links or even Notes app. Images well, save them to my album. If I happen to be at work and I am browsing on my work computer (a Windows PC) Well usually I find things on twitter, I favorite them and obviously, they'll be in my likes but also in DayOne. I am sure there is a more geeky efficient way but I haven't come up with it yet, maybe access my Notes app thru iCloud.com and add links to a note? if it's thru Mb as it usually is, I favorite them.

@smith I found out about it via Federico Viticci’s Must-Have Apps 2019. I didn't know it before, but now it's my dump for all kinds of links and I actually enjoy going there and reading up some saved stuff. I also use it just as a library of everything, not even knowing whether I ever need it again. If it's interesting, it goes in there and I can easily find it.

@hutaffe that’s a wonderful idea. I set up my account and everything. I’m planning to write something up about my experience

@smith I've tried some of the read later services, but I'm always falling back to email. Email is far from perfect, but I have the data at a place I continuously access already.
