I'm among the group of people who adds tons of links to Pocket, but have to manually filter them out by length when I'm free to read them. Looks like Short will solve that problem. Any love for Android users?

@virjog Right now we're focussing on iOS, but an Android app is definitely planned for the future.

@virjog Maybe "Read Ruler" is right up your alley: http://readruler.com/ Just submitted it on PH...apparently and surprisingly it wasn't yet hunted ;)

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet: Short seems perfect with those who have ADHD or have learning disabilities that impact their ability to read for longer periods of time. I struggle with reading longform pieces (which sucks, because I love reading, but I lose focus often) but an app like Short would definitely encourage me to work through my Pocket stash. Downloaded! :)

Short is a reading app that filters only Short articles for you. So when you have time, don't waste it and read on Short to keep up with your ever growing reading list. Short imports articles from Read-It-Later Apps like Pocket, Instapaper and more, you can choose articles filtered by minutes to match the time you want to spend reading. This app is so well designed, and great for reading. Have been trying the Beta for some time now and I can say it definitely helps me to read better dan more! Read more about the introduction of Short right here. Great app by @alexmuench and @enricenrich

Another fan of Short here. Had a chance to beta test the app and it's definitely made it easier to go through the backlog of articles I have on Pocket. Congrats @alexmuench and @enricenrich on the great launch!

What an awesome app to kill those few minutes here and there, productively. Any idea about release of the Android version?

Tomorrow: To-Do List, Focused

Very helpful! Nice work. Someone should take this to another level and allow me to submit articles that provide a tl;dr summary for me. Then I'd really get through this monster list of mine.

@xmcgraw An integration with tldr.io would be awesome. It's such a wonderful reading product, but I don't think it's well-known yet. My summaries, for example - http://tldr.io/tedmiston

@kicksopenminds Hey, look at that! Had no idea. That is a step in the right direction--thanks for sharing! I'm hopeful that we can submit articles for folks to come in & tackle.
