2015 Pocket Year in Review
For the second year running, I finished the year in the Top 1% of Pocket readers worldwide. Of course, percentile rankings like these are useless without more data on Pocket’s users, many of whom I suspect downloaded the app but rarely use it.

- Most saved topics (Pocket’s categories): Current Events, Health, Travel, Sports, Education
