Note, to experience all features, you need to create a GitHub repository for Text Hoarder to use as storage.

To see stats of your saved articles, you need to install a command line utility. See instructions.

If you prefer a less technical experience, I would recommend GoodLinks as a more beginner-friendly alternative to this extension.
