Show HN: My first iPad app: Palimpsest for iPad (codes inside)
The app is very simple and will appeal to those who enjoy longform articles (feature-length articles) and focussed reading on iPad.
Palimpsest for iPad (iTunes link): http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/palimpsest/id432502081?mt=8
It basically has 4 core features:
- It presents one new curated longform article every single day
- it offers a text-optimized view as well as the original article itself
- it learns your tastes based on upvotes/downvotes on earlier articles
- it works offline for days at a time
The articles are sourced from the following, among others:
- longform.org
- longreads.com
- givemesomethingtoread.com

- jorkos 15y ago- you need a landing screen w/ an explanation - dropping me right into an article 'pocketful of dough' makes no sense
- navanit 15y agoYou're right, I assumed people would take the time to read the description in detail, which was a poor assumption on my part. Thanks.
- pedalpete 15y agoInteresting idea. Though it took me for or more times looking at the name to get it right. It is a poor combination of long, difficult to pronounce and difficult to remember. I went and looked up the definition, a manuscript or piece of writing material on which the original writing has been effaced to make room for later writing, which of course makes sense with your product, but I'd try to find a name which is simpler.
- navanit 15y agoThank you for the feedback. I did think about going for a simpler name, but this one was so apt on different levels that I can't bear to change it. I'm going to stick with it and pay the price.
