I subscribe to way too many newsletters. I read maybe 3 of them. The problem wasn't the content. The content is great. The problem was reading it on a screen that also has social media, and a thousand notifications fighting for my attention. Same article on my phone = half-read, forgotten. Same article on paper = actually finished. So I made a tool that turns any newsletter into a printable newspaper. You pick what you want to read, it generates a PDF, you print it (or send it to a reMarkable as I do). My new ritual: 1. Sunday night, I pick what I want to read for the week. Generate. Done. 2. Monday morning: coffee + paper + silence. 3. No algorithm deciding I should actually be reading about AI drama instead. It's free. Works with any Substack, Ghost, or RSS feed. For people who love the internet but hate what it does to their brains.

Such a non-trivial product to launch in our eco-friendly era! You know, potentially, it can also help combat the problem of having a million of links saved for later and never revisited again. If you, say, print a couple of articles and keep them at sight - you'll defo read them.

In the age everything is digital, this is what we need.

It’s so true that our attention is finite, so having a physical copy to read without notifications popping up would be amazing for focus. I wonder how it chooses which content to include can I pick my favorite newsletters and articles manually, or does it try to curate them for me?

@theaxx both! You can either send specific articles or ask it to fetch from the latest posts from your newsletters

Cool product. The trend for all things vintage is back in style :)

I pasted individual articles from substack and it worked last week, but yesterday I tried again and that seems to no longer be a feature?
