Ask HN: Would you use an RSS service that emailed you a pdf every week?
For my next venture, I am thinking of building a little web service that sends you a nicely formatted PDF of all the articles published over the week.
I have only 3 questions:
- Would you use it?
- Would you pay for it (and how much)?
- Would it be legal to do this?
- songgao 13y agoProbably not. PDF is not for web IMHO. Plain html or other flexible format would work better. PDF has specific requirement upon screen size, etc. And clicking URL in PDF doesn't feel as fast as in a web page. If you wanna make it polished and magazine-like, how about making a magazine App in iOS/Android?
- saluki 13y agoI like the general idea . . . but I'd rather have the articles formatted for viewing on multiple devices with in your app rather than a pdf.
