Readability does that - well sorta. It sends it to your Kindle.
Readability is no longer available. See https://www.readability.com/
Damn that sucks. Pity - used to work well.

#92https://communiroo.com - I created a mobile app and wanted a single, easy-to-set-up site to direct users to for bug reports, feature requests, forums, and support, but I couldn't find one.
I built Communiroo to provide a community site for apps and services that can be set up in just a few clicks.

#94http://laptophits.com - it had great response here on HN, unfortunately few days later I got an email from Amazon, that they reject my associates application, as my site lacks unique content :(. Now I'm working on more specification based filtering options, then will try to add keyword filters (to quickly find for example most recommended'linux laptops') and figure out what should I add to pass Amazon Associates revi…
I went down the same path thinking that I could make a better selling platform (more relevant filtering) for a subset of items sold by Amazon and other retailers. I also was rejected for not having unique content. Other affiliate sites had no problem granting my applications. I'd be very interested to see how you modify your site to get accepted! Hope all goes well!

Just one suggestion, can you offer information on device security also? A collection of devices may work well together, but if I was buying a smart home device I'd want to be informed of any security issues as they're discovered. The escalations in DDoS size that we saw in 2016 were supposedly driven by a high number of insecure smart home/IoT devices, I'd like to do what I can to stop this becoming a trend.
That's a great idea. Do you have any devices in your house, yet?
Thank you. Any IoT devices? Not yet.

#97Simple "email this link to me" service. If I find something interesting, I want to be able to click a button (chrome extension/bookmarklet) that will extract the text from that page, format it nicely and email it to me (preferably to a separate Gmail label). I can then read it from my email client (iOS/Android email app) during my commute. I don't want the overhead of a complete app like Evernote or Pocket.

Instapaper and its app does this, been using it for many years now.

#98I want to build a set of tools to build a full private cloud on bare metal with zero single points of failure. Essentially a full replacement of Fuel and Openstack. I've already started on a full multi master dhcp server to assign ip adresses to hosts and instances.
Have you seen MAAS (Metal as a Service) from Canonical? Paired with Juju, it's fairly easy to deploy OpenStack on metal servers...

#99A youtube channel focused on teaching distributed programming in a simple way
I have already sketched some videos explaining consensus algorithms and the byzantine generals problem (yeah, I'm a Lamport fanboy)
