Hey HN,
I made dripfeed to scratch my own itch. I would frequently find myself leaving
several tabs of long-form articles open for weeks at a time, never getting
around to reading them, and then eventually just closing them. dripfeed is a
simple web-app that takes a URL and your email address and emails the article
to you in 15 minute (3000 word) installments.
Please let me know what you think.
- wingerlang 8y agoThis is great, I've had an idea for a service the lets me pause at a specific point in an article and have it remind me to read it. I very frequently lose the momentum in long articles. It would be nice if I could set some options, like 1 paragraph (or 2+ if they are shorter).
- clusmore 8y agoThanks for taking a look. There is a hidden form element on the page called wordLimit that defaults to 3000, you can edit the value of this to something lower if you'd like. I hadn't considered counting in terms of paragraphs, I might play around and see if I can come up with any good and consistent alternatives to word limits.
