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.

I really relate to this idea because my inbox is full and I barely finish anything. Reading on screens always distracts me even when I want to ficus. This feels like a calmer way to actually enjoy content.

@phyllis_brooks Thanks, Phyllis! Feel free to check it out and let me know if there's anything else I could do to make your reading more enjoyable and calmer.

Reading this description made me reflect on my own habits. I save so many links and never return to them. This approach feels slower but in a good way.

Lucas Schiavini

@debra_salt Thanks for the support Debra. I agree, sometimes I feel like I need to "read it all fast", but I often don't get what I want out of a text unless I read it slowly and intentionally.

I hope this tool helps you with this just as much as it helped me.

Hi, I was just scrolling and stopped here because this felt different. My attention struggles a lot online and this idea made me pause and read properly.

Lucas Schiavini

@melina_cross Thanks Melina, I hope this can bring a bit more calm to your reading time :)

The idea feels simple but thoughtful. My experience tells me that sometimes small changes in how we consume content make the biggest difference.

Lucas Schiavini

@sophia_gartner I got to thank the reMarkable tablet for bringing me into this world. On the surface, it feels like it's just an inferior tablet from all others you could buy, but then, as you use it, the small decisions they made really make a huge difference in how you consume things.

If it weren't for them, I'd probably never think of making AnalogReader. I hope you have a good day today, and if you have any issues with AnalogReader, let me know :)

This looks useful overall. I feel giving users more visible control over tone adjustments could help people like me trust the replies more.

@sandhya_kumari11 What do you mean by tone adjustments?
