   I've heard that, but I don't find it to be true. For me at least, one page per day keeps me connected.

   <sigh>. A "bookshelves" page to highlight good suggestions and moving the search up to the top are high on the list, but I'd got to the point I needed some real user feedback to get fired up to spend some more time on i

   I like that, especially a chunk of pages. SMS/WhatsApp would be a cinch, the APIs look similar to email sending APIs. It's on my backlog, but I never actually really answered the question of why you'd want that? When would yo

   Oh! Thanks for the note on the cover. Will change that. Don't want any nasty letters about copyright. So, I agree re: the habit. I'm out of the habit, but I'm definitely in the habit of reading my email, so I guess the idea

    There are apps for reading books. I like the random part and yeah you could make it pretty slick to convert to paid only if there's a decent level of engagement.

    Thanks for taking the time to come up with that. :p My first job was at a supermarket. There was a big sign on the door saying "NO NEWSPAPERS". Memories.

    Indeed. The pagination algorithm is terribly naive. It's 2000 chars x the page you're up to. Breaking on a sentence or paragraph would be better. v1.1! Feedback includes: - Some books are terrible for this, such as ones with lots

    It's an experiment really. I probably should have included the origin story somewhere... I was driving across the U.S. listening to an audio book about American History. Each chapter the author would mention influential books of the ti

    Thanks for the suggestion! Glad to know I wasn't the only one that a page a day appealed to! If you sign up, the footer of each email does actually have: - Request another page - Manage - Unsubscribe And under Manage, you can pause, sk

    That was one of the drivers. We liked the core technology, but could see there was a significant barrier to actually using it. Being able to point your domain at IPFS content and then providing that (ssl secured) site to the masses is a big

    There is something nerdly satisfying doing something in ascii. I started a Bloomberg text style crypto dashboard. https://github.com/stevenpack/cryptowarrior . No real reason other than... ascii is cool... for some re

    My pleasure! Hey, what do you like more about YouTube for watching the videos?

    Indeed. It was very much just prepared as some talking points for the folks in the room. Makes more sense with the video. Note to self: Stuff about Rust always makes it to HN. :)

    Rust is being used in production at Cloudflare. Redox is not used here in any capacity.

    That was purely on the list of reasons why I personally got interested in Rust and I support redox on patreon. I love the idea of an OS built on Rust from the ground up as a way to eliminate a category of security bugs. The second slide is

    Thanks! What's the link to your API? I only discovered gdax-tt halfway through, which is an attempt to offer a level of abstraction over the various crytpo exchanges.
