What is Pocket?
- Pocket is a web service that allows you to store links in order to read them later. You can save this content from your browser or other applications, and access them later. As per Pocket's about page:
Pocket was founded in 2007 by Nate Weiner to help people save interesting articles, videos and more from the web for later enjoyment. Once saved to Pocket, the list of content is visible on any device — phone, tablet or computer. It can be viewed while waiting in line, on the couch, during commutes or travel — even offline.

What is the In My Pocket addon?
- This addon provides a quick and easy way to access your Pocket list right from your browser. Instead of having to open the pocket website in a new browser tab, you can simply click the icon in your browser and get instant access to your Pocket list. It also becomes really easy to add new pages while browsing, or to mark links as read. In a word, it makes Pocket easier to use!

Who develops the In My Pocket addon?
My name is Pierre-Adrien Buisson, I'm a French developer working mostly on web-related projects, Ruby and Javascript. I've been a Pocket user for a very long time, back when it was still called "Read It Later"... and I was really disappointed to see Pocket stop developing its own official Firefox addon, years ago. That's why I decided to develop this plugin.
I'm in no way related nor affiliated to pocket or Mozilla, only an independant developer trying to bring something useful to the community.

What information does the addon store about me? What about my privacy?
The addon stores only the data needed to operate, mainly the data related to your pocket items and the settings you're configuring in the options page. All data displayed in the popup is stored in your browser and can only be accessed by yourself. I can't ever access any data of yours.
What about this "bug report" feature?
Bug report is an opt-in feature (meaning "it's not enabled by default) that you can enable to send me technical details when things go astray. These bug reports won't contain any data about your Pocket items or yourself. They will, however, contain some technical data for debugging purpose, such as your browser name and version.

Where can I find the source code?
- This addon is open-source, which means that the source code is publicly available to anyone. If you're in that kind of things, you can find the source code on the In My Pocket repository on bitbucket. Pull requests are very welcome, several developers already contributed to the project (thanks a lot guys!) :)

How can I keep up with the development ?
- You'll find the public roadmap of In My Pocket on Trello, I try to keep it as up to date as possible. Note that this public roadmap does not contain everything that I'm working on or intend to work on, only the most notable ones. I've got my own set of backlogs and ideas and technical tickets to work on, this is only the tip of the iceberg.
