    This is great! Very readable and feels like a nice way to browse articles. I tend to gloss over stuff in the HN wall of text sometimes so this breaks the links up in a useful way. Nice job.

    I'm liking all of the remixes.

    We built a combined books/video version as well in our app library.

    What about the ads, the tracking, the pop-ups and the limited-time special offers?

    Love this.

    This is so cool! Definitely liked the title font :)

    I do wonder if this kind of republishing is compliant with the original site? As in, if one can store the content vs. not and just lazily convert live - have been curious about the copyright rules & practices in this area.

    Just for your information, if you care about the reachability of your project: this site, like all ChatGPT sites, is blocked in countries that are banned by ChatGPT (e.g., Hong Kong). And because it uses a custom domain, it cannot be automatically proxied as I have set up for ChatGPT domains, which is slightly annoying.

    This reminds me of an idea I had a while ago; it would be nice if I could receive a paper daily/weekly of interesting articles, updates in the world, think pieces, etc. that weren't as broad as daily news or as opinionated. Just things that people found interesting or things happening around us without the political bias (on either side).

    The paper side would just be to anti-digitize my life more, feels like it would be almost like a paper RSS feed.

      Early versions of Instapaper had a nice way to push out a Kindle "magazine" with recently-captured articles that I loved. This was circa...2010, 2011? An age long past.

      If you can track down some decent sources that you like (maybe something like Kagi News, https://www.positive.news/, a good local paper if you have one), you could with little effort vibe up a daily printout and have it waiting for you when you get up each day. For a fun version, there's plenty of cheap thermal printers on aliexpress and similar that'd give you a non-US Letter/A4 version so it doesn't feel like Yet Another Document.

      It wasn't physical, but there was a slick app for the 1st gen of iPad called Early Edition which was basically just curated RSS feeds presented in the style of a newspaper. I was only able to find one image of it. I don't think the app exists anymore, unfortunately.

      Not exactly what you’re asking for, but a big fan of Hacker Newsletter, which emails you top HN articles. What you’re asking for is a little utopian, HN is the closest thing I’ve found

        >Hacker Newsletter, which emails you top HN articles.

        have you read it recently? Is it still the authentic articles? (as opposed to ads for whatever you were browsing a few minutes earlier.)

    I don’t think the pay wall is working.

    Needs a better title font for headlines.

    Georgia Bold is not fit for the purpose, and there's no earthly reason to use it at 55px.

    There are so many good serif fonts to choose from on Google Fonts. An embarrassment of riches.

    i'm open to the idea that its the NYTimes that needs a HN inspired version

    Archive link?

    add an AI section that is filtered out of technology and you'd have yourself a nice way to browse HN.

      i'm pretty happy with the existing way of browsing HN. i hope it never changes.
