I sort of love this, but immediately wonder about curation. My feeds are pretty unpredictable - sometimes I have 40 new articles in a day, sometimes just a few. The cheapness of digital consumption and interface makes it viable for me to skim titles and read, defer, or dismiss at my judgement. I don't want the entire feed printed out - not viable. But if some SaaS is curating my feeds for me, I fear it'll turn into another algorithmized something optimizing for what exactly? At least the first-pass filter is explicitly set by me - feeds I subscribe to. Curious to hear your thoughts on it, and wishing you luck. | ||

Yeah- I get about 300 new items each day in my feed... of which on average about 1% of those are worth reading the full article. There is a lot of duplication as well- many sites will cover a new gadget announcement, but only need to read one to get the full scoop. Printing this would be overwhelming- and many of those sites are summaries of "source documents" (papers, release notes, etc) that I want to jump to. I am sure people use RSS in many different ways though, it just doesn't seem useful to me. | ||

You got it exactly right, curation and typesetting are the most challenging aspects of it. Experimenting with different solutions... | ||

Maybe you first get the summary on your phone and you decide what to be printed? |
