Saved articles, in a zine, delivered every month

Hi HN, [yorgos_kats][1] posted [My Screen Break][2], which looks really nice! People sent me messages about it because it has a lot in common with what I'm working on: [Walden Pond][3] ( https://WaldenPond.press ). You connect your [Pocket][4] account, and once a month you get a printed magazine. You can subscribe for 1, 2 or 4 hours of reading time. I got my 7th one on [Monday this week][5]. We deliver anywhere in the world, except Antarctica. It has been a pandemic project to build it as a "real" product, but I've been making these zines for my friends for a bit over 2 years now.…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN, [yorgos_kats][1] posted [My Screen Break][2], which looks really nice! People sent me messages about it because it has a lot in common with what I'm working on: [Walden Pond][3] ( https://WaldenPond.press ). You connect your [Pocket][4] account, and once a month you get a printed magazine. You can subscribe for 1, 2 or 4 hours of reading time. I got my 7th one on [Monday this week][5]. We deliver anywhere in the world, except Antarctica. It has been a pandemic project to build it as a "real" product, but I've been making these zines for my friends for a bit over 2 years now. This means that I've come across and fixed an amazing number of edge cases! I initially started building it because I couldn't find anything that did the job. I've since turned up [Quarto][6] by [Elan Kiderman][7], which is similar; [newspaperclub.com][8] had a product that did something along these lines but using their presses, and as [jamez][9] noted in the replies to [yorgos_kats][1] post, [Memeoirs][10]; and [pulp][11] by [Outofthebot][12], but that's shut down. The pagination is done using [Paged.js][13], and their community has been super helpful. It's amazing what can be done with the holy trinity of HTML, CSS & JS. If you want to see some pictures of the physical thing, take a look at [Instagram][14] and [Twitter][15].

    Lurnby, a tool for better learning, is now open source2022 · github.com · ▲162

    I've been working on Lurnby for 2 years. It's kind of like a mix of pocket + kindle + anki. It lets you => add add epubs, pdfs, and web articles to the app => highlight and add comments => tag and organize highlights => review them with a spaced repetition system Today I made the decision to open source the project. I'm passionate about helping other people learn to learn better and hope that this will allow a lot more innovation in the tool and the space. I'm very new to open source and development in general really, but looking forward to receiving the guidance of the community.

    I built a site to find the best newsletters2022 · inboxworld.io · ▲12

    Hey HN, sharing something I've been working on. I love reading new voices. I subscribe to a lot of brilliant newsletters but found it hard to keep track of all the great stuff I was reading. I'd read something, love it, never be able to find it again. And then, how do you find new ones worth trying? And which posts do you start with? With Inbox World, you can submit and upvote the best of Substack and other similar platforms. The goal is to build a community around the best independent writing out there. It's like HN for newsletters! This is a passion project for me and I'm not technical at…

    Telescope, a news reader app2017 · ▲90

    I got fed up with the news reader apps out there so I decided to make my own. Its a simple concept where it tracks all your favorite news sources for new posts and the social shares it received. Then it ranks it HN/Reddit style using social shares as upvotes. It's not meant to be alternative to HN, just a focused way to track your favorite sources. Please try it out and let me know what do you think, http://telescope.surf/ Note: you can do 'Add to Homescreen' on mobile to make it as an app. Please leave a feedback or any feature wishlist you may have. Thanks!
