Sight - a new way to save articles from the Internet

Sight - is a new app for iOS with a unique concept. It allows you to save articles, making them a screenshot of the browser.
Our lives so zealously try to simplify a variety of web services and applications that soon we will not have to do anything at all. These include Sight and application that brings a new level of a method of storing and reading articles.
Its peculiarity lies in the fact that in order to save the article on your device, you need only to make it a screenshot of the browser. And it's all. And it works!
The app will not be new to those who use the reader for articles. Pocket, Instapaper, Feedly, Flipboard - they all have a similar concept, and Sight is no exception. To get started, you need to register an account and make a screenshot of any article.
Here, for example, an article from Altushera blog. Making it a screenshot in Safari, I went into the app and it immediately began to analyze the latest pictures in the gallery. To download one article from the screenshot, it needs about 20 seconds. Recognition works in 95% of cases, and, unfortunately, does not work with the Russian language.
Throughout the rest of this reader, and rather good. There is a night mode that applies not only to read interface, but also on the entire application. Also present are changing fonts and brightness.
Swipe down you can open the statistics to read the article and go to settings. Removing any article, you will still leave it in history and can return when you want.
In the settings you can enable the background analysis, and then will recognize Sight screenshots of articles in the background. According to my observations, the device is almost no effect on life. You can also enable a notification that an article is ready for reading. That's all, but more and is not necessary.
I really like the concept of Sight. It is not like all the rest and really convenient. Here are a few pieces that are missing the application:
- synchronization with Pocket;
- lack of support for articles in Russian;
- greater accuracy in the analysis of the articles.
How do you feel about this idea? Will she be able to surpass the standard methods of preserving the articles?
