After you read an article, you probably want to do something with it on Pocket, maybe archive it or delete it, right? However, this “random” URL brings you directly to the actual page, not Pocket’s article view. So I solved it by coding a small userscript and dropping it at ViolentMonkey.ĭone. To achieve this, my browser doesn’t support this feature natively, neither could I find a working extension for this. This way, every time I pressed some key combination, my browser would show a different article from my Pocket list. None of this is exactly enjoyable.įor a much better experience, I wanted to bind a keyboard shortcut for that URL. My options were to click that page on my bookmarks bar repeatedly, or to write that address on the omnibar multiple times. This could be as easy as reloading the page, but that URL actually redirects you to the article’s page, so doing this won’t get you anywhere. This means that I usually visit that URL many times in a row. Like a roulette, I may want to spin it again and again until I find something I want to read at a given moment. However, when I get a random article, I may not like it. Pocket has a URL that gives you exactly that: a random article from your list each time you visit it. To make it easier to read them, I wanted a way to get a random one on demand.Īs it turned out, this was very straightforward. I have tons of articles in my Pocket account.
