I'm looking to organize and keep track of past articles and keep lists of things to read by categories. Before I invest more into the tagging/list features that Pocket has, I'm curious to see what other people do.
Move them out to plain text files whenever I have the time. These are just text files. I add lines that begin with some keywords like "topic:", "source:" "subject:", etc. Semi regularly, check these into my git repo and sync then into my nvalt dir.
This way I can search by topic, search by date, find files with no topics, group links by domains, run stats over them, extract links for any topic, download those links into a single pdf onto my kindle, group them by year, find where I get my most interesting links, cache and index the content of the links themselves.
The act of moving from email to plain text to git keeps things in shape without going out of control. I don't care if any of the services or sources are dead, things are backed up in my email + git + devices I use.
I also got pretty good at awk, grep, cut and sort working with this.
Firefox can take multiple thousand open tabs ( up to 2500 for sure ) without crashing. Your local files can most likely all be opened in the browser give or take a few tweaks. Multi-Account Container is good for organizing that and has a bunch of other very interesting applications.
You can also use a Firefox Account to sync all that stuff you'll never read ;p across multiple devices.

I use Trello for lists of what to read too.
I recently switched from Evernote to Obsidian for note management and it's been amazing. I love the UI, that my notes are just markdown files, and it's really nice for linking notes together. Obsidian doesn't have readwise integration though.
Share your public collections, and receive a high-quality PDF or a printed-magazine.
No distractions, no ads - just a single-minded focus on reading. It’s how text was meant to be consumed.
Additionally, I use Feedly[1] to discover content from sites in an RSS-like system. I find that visiting Feedly daily in the browser, then saving content to Instapaper using a browser extension for later works optimally for me.
