I saw Mitch and many others posting about Pocket’s demise, looking for a replacement.
This is 2025. This is the era of generative AI coding capabilities that are bar none. Gemini 2.5. Claude 4. o3.
Make. Your. Own.
I mean it. Sit down and have a conversation with generative AI about:
- What Pocket did
- What Pocket did that you didn’t like
- How Pocket worked
- The back end needed to make it work (database, etc.)
Have that conversation. Literally turn on voice mode and talk about it. Grab the documentation from the site.
Then once your conversation is over, have AI consolidate it all into a requirements document.
Then have AI build you a workplan for a tool like Firebase Studio (that can make mobile apps) or Jules or Codex or Cursor or Windsurf or Cline or… you get the idea.
THEN MAKE YOUR OWN POCKET REPLACEMENT.
It can never be shut down.
It can never raise fees.
It can never be taken away from you.
One of my favorite use cases for generative AI is resurrecting software that I liked but got taken away from me because the company went out of business or the developer stopped supporting it. I revived the Chrome extension OpenList because the developer abandoned it and made it my own (it was open source, so no IP issues).
The power is sitting there, right in front of you, right in the AI chat window. Everyone talks about how AI has all these capabilities.
Use them.
