Pondr
Turn saved articles and RSS feeds into a printed magazine
Connect Instapaper or add RSS feeds. Pondr selects articles for one, two, or four hours of reading and turns them into a thoughtfully typeset personal magazine. Preview it digitally, then order a single printed issue or subscribe to a monthly reading shipped to your door.
The typesetting looks way nicer than I expected, almost like a proper indie zine. Love that I can throw my saved Instapaper pile at it and get a four hour digest without curating anything myself.
The idea of bundling my Instapaper backlog into a typeset magazine and getting it mailed feels genuinely novel. Really curious how the article curation handles longer reads when you pick the four hour option.
As a lucky owner of one such issue, I can only recommend it. I still run my read-later list at full speed, but I have a printed-only rule that goes with my morning coffee and this is a very nice hack. Give it a spin!
Finally a way to actually finish my read-later pile instead of drowning in it. The typeset preview looked surprisingly nice, kind of like a real indie zine. Honestly tempted to subscribe just to see what shows up in print.
Hello Product Hunt
I had years of articles saved and never got to reading them.
Over the last few years, most of my reading on my computer or phone got replaced by doomscrolling. I tried a bunch of tricks to get back to reading, but the only thing that really worked was printing the articles.
I ended up with a monthly printed magazine made from my saved links. It’s a physical thing with some presence, you can put it on a table, make notes, lend it to someone else or pack it up for your summer vacation.
I turned this into a small service and am opening it up to others. It currently supports Instapaper, RSS and Matter.
I would especially value inputs on distribution: where are the people reading long-form regularly and getting tired of screens? The magazine from your content is a deeply personal product. How can I build the trust over distance?
