@Dec0y-jb Hey Joe,

Thanks for reaching out and raising this.

This is a known issue that's in the queue to be addressed on the server side, specifically with the parser. There is some complexity with this due to the format and nature of snippets but it is something we are looking to prioritize.

I passed this on to the support team as well.

Thanks @collectedmind . Looking forward to this in a future release. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Keep up the great work!

@Dec0y-jb any news here? Pocket is hard to use for developers with gists missing in converted articles. :( I'd definitely consider a Pro subscription if this was fixed.

@ubuntudroid - it's been years since I submitted this and I haven't seen any movement unfortunately.

This is currently a blocker for my using Pocket, really disappointing this hasn't been worked on for so long
