Yes, many times. For a while I tried to use it as a read later for articles. But I never managed to actually remember to go back and read later the things I saved. I honestly think it's a useful tool. You can save articles offline to read later.

So I had no idea you could use it to read offline. But I remember saving webpages to read later back in the 00s. I remember you could even choose how many links deep you wanted to save. Is this really no longer available?

Actually I like Offpunk for this kind of functionality, but that's not very mainstream.

Well sure you can save web pages. Pocket was a manager for that.
