Build a quiz to HN: What’s your licensed advance to read on-line converse?

I yell pocket. It is installed by default in Firefox (my default browser). From there I place the articles I desire to read. After which i read them on my Kobo eReader (which syncs pocket saved articles automatically). The correct combo to place my eyes a couple of “again-lit display cloak hours”.

Pocket and Kobo moreover (with Newsblur for RSS feed aggregation).

That talked about, if there became an ereader that worked with Instapaper as a replace I’d presumably jump all over. Recurrently ample Pocket screws up an article which Instapaper handles with aplomb.

Attention-grabbing.. I in actuality secure correct the opposite ride. Instapaper sends a weekly epub with my articles to my Kindle. Extra ofter than no longer, technical articles (i.e. math, code, many photography) halt no longer gather converted well, to the point of constructing some of them fully unreadable.

I yell pocket + kobo moreover.

I take into consideration my Kobo Forma basically the most cherished tech take I’ve made in years.

I construct no longer read essential of one thing else on-line for the time being. Most “finding out” environments treat you as a user, no longer a reader. Heart-broken typography, never-ending scrolling, and an never-ending provide of converse that will no longer in actuality worth finding out in basically the most simple place. So I largely yell text on display cloak handiest so that I will perform initiatives. In varied words, “finding out” on-line is an answer to an halt.

All that talked about, if I come all over a prolonged accomplish piece of writing that appears to be inviting, I would possibly print it!

I also are inclined to print one thing else colossal that I notion on finding out. It is correct more straightforward on the eyes (though Firefox’s reader mode and usejournal.com also again) and I will re-yell the easy facet of the paper for my notes. After that, it makes an okay hearth starter.

I’ve also began subscribing to magazines and newspapers all as soon as more. Many of the ‘on-line’ converse I read is available in print accomplish.

I’m very essential keen on the published phrase. I have been pondering it fancy this: On-line, text delivers itself to you, almost continuously briefly-accomplish streams, every thing is ephemeral. With a bodily book, it is well-known to declare yourself to the text. Language, dialog, accomplish, typography all advance collectively on the online page in a advance that is extremely enjoyable. The act of finding out printed pages is an “occasion” of kinds.

Any magazine ideas?

I in actuality ride both the Economist and the Original Yorker. They secure an inclination to take very varied stances on the same disorders, however both secure in actuality very very finest prolonged-accomplish articles that I ride. I also indicate ardour magazines (fancy Shutterbug or Glide Kayak) that fit along with your interests.

Right here would possibly possibly maybe possibly maybe very well be the comment that I resonate basically the most with – what defines “one thing worth finding out” to you? Portion of me feels fancy theres no advance to gather to the apt stuff with out sifting through all of it rather first.

I construct no longer secure a susceptible definition, I correct spend time browsing for articles and essays which are aligned with whatever is top of mind for the time being. I’d the queer one here, however I focal point on my JSTOR subscription is worth every penny. The number of converse, along with the quality of publications is in most cases very very finest. I chanced on ETC: A Overview of Frequent Semantics no longer too prolonged within the past and I’ve printed a bunch of articles and essays from their publications, dating again to the 60’s. It is apt stuff!

Firefox’s Reader Glimpse, with custom userContent.css to fix the unnecessarily low distinction:

  @-moz-doc url-prefix("about:reader") {
    body {
      background-coloration: #FFFFFF !crucial;
      coloration: #000000 !crucial;
    }
  }

In contemporary variations of Firefox this requires toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to be discipline to apt in about:config

The most legible style is the style that you would be succesful to possibly very well be most conscious of, so “construct” is kind of continuously a negative. I construct no longer care about your weird branding.

Love many others I yell RSS slightly essential solely (the yell of native purchasers on MacOS and iOS). I yell reader mode by default in these apps and for my web browser too. HN is the ideal non-RSS websites read usually.

The one place of living I’d fancy to read however construct no longer is Scott Galloway’s — he doesn’t secure an RSS feed and it is correct no longer worth visiting the positioning to ogle if there’s one thing else new.

I settle that you would be succesful to possibly very well be conscious HN has an RSS feed? That’s in actuality how I gather to HN. I by no intention in actuality read the entrance online page without delay…

How does that work? I’m attracted to the selection of votes however I resolve as soon as I’ve cached the feed file that is never always going to replace.

Are you the yell of hnrss?

For any text with bigger than a couple paragraphs, I continuously hit the “reader mode” button. If a webpage doesn’t work with that, I’m no longer .

My system basically revolves around Instapaper[0].

If I flee into one thing else that appears to be fancy it’d be intereseting I put it apart to Instapaper the yell of the browser extension on my workstation, or the app on my phone / tablet.

I also secure a handful of electronic mail lists that automatically forward into instapaper, and a couple rss feeds that auto ship to instapaper (By strategy of ifttt[1]).

After I desire to in actuality yell converse I yell the instapaper iPadOS app, which has a straightforward and elegant UI. (That is also carried out for your browser as soon as you happen to bewitch)

Earlier final year, I wrote a tool which scrapes a ton of web feeds (alternate data, data about investments, cooking blogs, etc..) to my electronic mail. (shameless plug[0]). The whole thing will get organised with labels that fit my morning finding out workflow well.

One thing else I’ve also been working in direction of is no longer letting on-line finding out disrupt me at work. If I ever get my focus drifting, I yell an extension which bookmarks it for later (either Google Defend or Pocket). In most cases I in actuality secure a pleasant backlog for when I’m within the finding out mood.

From principles: you ought to diminish the left engaging motion of your eyes/neck, to slit again fatigue, and never blast your retinas with a wall of white pixels.

One column of centered text with a non-busy gloomy and white background appears to be colossal. For a whereas I read Amazon books fancy that because I put the rep reader in an iframe.

Now I yell a HiSense A5 e-Ink display cloak with a a long way away abet an eye on for online page turning and I would possibly possibly maybe possibly maybe no longer quiz for more.

Right here is basically aimed at night time-time finding out and is an extension of f.lux however on linux that you would be succesful to possibly apply custom glsl scripts to the display cloak with the compton compositor. I invert the display cloak after which extremely red-tint it. This advance I gather ‘native’ darkmode on every thing gloomy-on-white, with out having to rely on builders making a wretched mode, buggy userscripts, and it works on all functions, even videos.

I in actuality secure a script which adjustments my terminal and texteditor colorscheme then calls this script

I fancy to inch the amount I read (fewer never-ending scrolling websites) by subscribing to a diminutive choice of electronic mail lists.

It prevents fomo, idly browsing websites with converse I’ve already read, etc

And if the converse stops being high quality (or begins declare diluted with low quality converse), unsubscribing is low-tag

Ideally, I’d pay ~$1000 per year and secure high quality converse (no bigger than 1-2 hours of finding out per day) ranging my interests be introduced to my inbox

If one thing is overly topical, it would possibly possibly possibly well possibly maybe rapidly gather archived if I didn’t halt up finding out it the day it arrived

The author’s online page. I’m carried out with colossal aggregated converse platforms, I began the yell of RSS all as soon as more no longer too prolonged within the past and model to my contain digital garden of blogs and newsletters.

I yell Slack’s RSS integration to gather new articles notifications, then read them as they were intended to be read by the author.

Been finding out a mode of longer articles and papers no longer too prolonged within the past. If the author doesn’t provide a PDF, I roll my contain — the yell of Reader Mode and Print To File. I store a copy in Zotero so I will abet phrase of things and so I will add notes.

This permits distraction free finding out and lets me archive the stuff I’m finding out.

At likelihood of secure a same workflow with Polar as a replace of Zotero, however switched to Zotero.

I’m the yell of Polar for this and am slightly overjoyed with it, in particular with the online page marks for finding out progress and with the highlighting/annotations.

I’m no longer too conscious of Zotero. Does it secure same aspects, or halt you correct yell it for storage and read/annotate for your PDF viewer?

Pockets uses a readermode seek for, so it is non tts UI is nicer, so as soon as you happen to construct no longer care about tts correct yell pocket.

Firefox reader mode would possibly possibly be good, Firefox preview is colossal.

I yell Innoreader for feeds and a mode of electronic mail newsletters. Whereas you construct no longer fancy things in multiple places, Innoreader also can generate feeds from websites (with mixed outcomes relying on the structure of the online page) and can provide you transient emails that that you would be succesful to possibly subscribe to newsletters in so that they’ll demonstrate up within the same interface.

That you would possibly possibly maybe possibly give https://intrgr.com a strive. It standardizes the Article format (casting off clutter), presents you connected articles from around the rep, and proposals as soon as you happen to construct an myth.

I made it for the reason that web has become unreadable for me.

Kobo has no RSS client, though, so for catching up on data feeds, Feedly on my Android phone or tablet. But I’ve largely stopped the yell of Feedly at all, as my backlog would merely gather to this point that it began feeling fancy a chore to gather through them.
