    Thank you for thinking about this and trying to help. I wholeheartedly agree with you in spirit. If I could launch today, I would. If I could build a launch-able version of this, b…

    Thank you very much for taking the time to think about this -- and even more for taking the time to also write. I agree with your feedback. On the one hand, the deck is meant to be…

    I should've been more explicit. My post was on the Ask HN page, near the top; then it suddenly disappeared, from one moment to the next. My guess is that would only happen if eithe…

    If, looking at the demo, what you saw was "a simple form" then our perspectives are far enough apart that I don't see how they could ever meet. Nonetheless, I thank you for taking …

    P.S. I submitted this yesterday too. My post got hidden/shadow-banned, and I don't know why. Trying again, as this is my very last hail-Mary, before I burn down nearly a year of fu…

    I think you're probably right. But, sadly, I have neither the energy nor the financial liberty to do so, after the nearly one year of full-time work that it took to get here. (The …

    Breakdown of the first year, which is what 500k will get me (barely): - Month 1-to-4: Design/Build. - Month 5: Private beta with 10/20 freelancers. - Month 6: Start enterprise case…

    You can't use it yet because what I deem an MVP for this is far-away from what I have right now. At the moment, the tech is probably 80% of the way to what would be in a v1, but th…

    Some great books in arkitaip's comment. But start with this one: "The Non-Designer's Design Book" -- it'll teach you how much of "great design" is "great typography".

    Actually, it would still be possible to do that, if we instituted some sort of a HN-wide policy that the person who wants to gauge interest should make that to-be-upvoted comment -…

    Glad you asked this -- as many people think my opinion on this subject is something other than what it actually is. I don't hate advertising. Good advertising I actually love. Unfo…

    Not really. But I want(ed) to see if there is genuine interest in something like that. I'd hate to write/post uninteresting stuff.

    Oh and one more thing: I'm honestly not trying to draw even more traffic this way. I really really wanted to thank the community -- a lot. The clickable link is here just because s…

    Thanks HN: Readable is doing very very well

    Thanks to being featured on HN, 3 days ago, Readable has been making the rounds. It's still being posted to Twitter and Facebook; and people seem to be very happy with it -- the nu…

    Thanks for the suggestion. This is already a planned feature; so look forward to seeing it sometime soon.

    I agree with you about the names -- and I really wish I could've thought of something clever when I first named it; unfortunately, it's a bit late now.

    Boston.com is now fixed; thanks for the report. As for your issues on printing: thank you. I had honestly not given printing very much thought -- as I don't really use it myself. Y…

    Thanks for the info, Bram. I'll be sure to hit you up if/when I have any questions.

    I'll be sure to look into exactly how Apture works -- and, if possible, I'll make it work inside of Readable's overlay too.

    Quoted from an email, where I answered the same exact question: Most likely, Readable will never have multi-page support. The reason for this is Readable's philosophy, and not any …
