Reader
Reader turns a saved article or PDF into a focused place to read, annotate, revisit, and discuss it.
Maker note
Why I made this.
I wanted any article or PDF to become a focused reading and research surface instead of another forgotten browser tab.
Product contract
What this product promises.
Reader turns a saved article or PDF into a focused place to read, annotate, revisit, and discuss it.
- For
- People who save serious reading but lose it among browser tabs and undifferentiated bookmarks.
- Outcome
- Move from capture to attentive reading and retain useful notes and questions around the source.
- How
- A dedicated reading surface combines capture, document parsing, annotation, retrieval, and source-grounded discussion.
- Proof
- The product is mature, but current owner usage is too low to justify speculative expansion.
- Next action
- Use Reader for a real article or PDF; resume improvements only where the capture-to-reading loop actually breaks.
