Keep track of your progress reading Paul Graham's essays. - Mark essays as "read" until you've read them all. - Bookmark your favorites to come back to later. - Sort by reading time (no affiliation with Paul Graham or YC)
Reading Paul Graham's essays changed my life... and eventually led me to start Whalesync (YC S21).
When I first discovered PG's essays, I read one essay a day for almost a year. At the time, I wished there was a better way to keep track of my progress and save my favorites.
So I figured I'd make that possible!
Hoping this helps others benefit from PG's essays in the way I did when I was first starting out :)
Love this idea!
Now what about apps for tracking Cory Doctorow's and Stephen Wolfram's essays. :-)
I was just reading one of his essays today 😅
Really love the idea behind this product
This is such a thoughtful tool! I’ve always wanted to dive into Paul Graham’s essays but felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of them. Being able to track my progress and bookmark favorites makes it so much more approachable. Love the idea of sorting by reading time too—super practical. Can’t wait to start using this! Congrats on the launch! 🚀
Awesome idea @mbusel !
I've just created an account and read two essays already. It matches perfectly today as I decided to grow my habit to read more really meaningful things instead of using social media.
Upvote! 💪🏽
Suggestions to better your tool:
-It would be awesome to have a short summary of 2-3 sentences each essay or keywords what it is about.
-Search for mentioned companies and people.
-Add more high quality free sources later.
Thank you and keep building! 🙏🏽🫶🏾
Instead of scrolling on Instagram for 5 minutes, we can now read legendary essay for 5 minutes. Just created an account, will use this for sure! Congrats Matthew🥳
