The advantage of doing it on the desktop is that you get to print the desktop version of the site.
There probably is an avenue to automate printing from your desktop as soon as it receives the email; who knows, maybe even
The inconvenient of your way is that your bookmarks are only available on the Desktop, from your mobile all you can have is the list of URLs you sent yourself. It's still probably better than having some service running all the time you want to query though.
Your system is surprisingly "low-tech" and sounds extremely interesting, I'm tempted to start doing it as well. Do you have any kind of organization or viewer for your stack of PDFs, or are they just files amassed on your hard drive ?
- fit2rule 6y agoI print to the Desktop, then clean it up at the end of the day by moving the files into what is admittedly a massive collection of files in a single directory .. On one hand, it seems messy - but on the other hand, its incredibly useful to use shell tools to manipulate/harvest the data in that directory. And as for the mobile/desktop issue: I just sync my PDF dir to my mobile phone, and carry it all with me, anyway. The mobile version is not as grep'able, but its pretty neat to have every interesting website I've ever cared enough about to print-to-PDF with me in my pocket, even if it is a nearly un-navigable list of 20,000+ files to scroll through, hehe ..
