Think back to the last time the internet brought you joy. We want to put more of those moments at your fingertips—whether it’s a favorite podcast episode, heartwarming personal essay, or reliably fantastic recipe.
That’s why Pocket is introducing The Joy List Project. A chance to celebrate and share those “keeper” pieces that you come back to time and again—the ones that reliably elicit a smile, happy sigh, or belly laugh.
Read on as our contributors walk you through their all-time essential articles, videos, recipes, poems, memes, and more. Save the pieces that spark a little joy for you, and start building your own personal Joy List right in your Pocket.
