There was an iOS app from practically a decade ago that did something very similar, but you could customize with RSS feeds, and it would turn it into a traditional looking newspaper.
Sadly, I can't remember the name of it but it was pretty great.
- headclone 2y agoI remember this app as well; “Flipreader” comes to mind but yields no Google results. It was the peak of RSS for me, beautiful UX, customizable, all the posts in sequential order if I wanted instead of algorithms… I remember it because useless when web publishers realized they were losing ad views to apps like these and all the posts became previews with links.
- soylentcola 2y agoI believe you are thinking of Flipboard (still around, but a bit different nowadays).
- franzkappa 2y agoI think you are referring to Flipboard, it is still in the AppStore

- otras 2y agoA fun evolution would be to format it into a newspaper format, complete with headlines, front page, and "continue reading on page N", then print it out on large paper, fold it, and mail it to you. There's probably no money in it, but a physical weekly customized RSS feed highlights newspaper would be neat.

- vunderba 2y agoCan't edit my post but it wasn't Flipboard. Found it - it was Instapaper! https://imgur.com/a/iFBme4f https://imgur.com/a/iFBme4f EDIT: Well maybe not, this one seems more like a replacement for ReadLater/GetPocket whereas the one I used was purely based off RSS feeds. I used it on the original iPad 1st gen so it's probably long gone. I give up.
