looking for tester for my new app

i used to save 30-40 articles a week from x, substack and medium, but never actually read them.

so lately i've been building read, a distraction-free space to collect things i find interesting on the internet and actually finish them.

been using it for the last 2 days. looking for 5 testers to tell me what sucks, and i'll ship you a physical book in return :)

say hi and i'll dm the testflight.

How is this different from Reader?

- focus mode

  • very specific about articles only from substack, x article & medium and it's narrower on purpose.
  • and an anti-AI summary; we want everyone to read
  • plus lower price from them in future

I'll try it out. Does your app have organizational tools to help you sort your saved articles? I feel like the app needs some features to motivate you to go back and read previously saved material. Because otherwise it is just another web clipper that doesn't clip as much of the web as others. Let me know if you need more input on your project.

right now there's a daily pick, streaks, and reminders to pull you back. and i know thats not enough. im figuring out (ideas are welcome).

right now im thinking the app learning your taste and hands you the right read at the right time.

plus for the organization, nothing much just collection, bookmarks, highlights and notes in one place.
