This would be cooler if there were an option to export to pdf and epub

A close alternative right now is to print the page with the right amount of zoom, but yeah that's not a bad idea actually. Print it out on newsprint paper.

This is superb, a very cool idea! Congrats.

Thanks! Always fun when a showerthought turns out to be something interesting for more than just me.

Yeah very cool. I’d say it qualifies as even artistic in aesthetics and meaning. Bravo.

It's still got lorem ipsum in its teeth.

This is really cool! As a suggestion, you may want to add in a toggle for zoom. On my computer the site looks perfect at 67%.

But this is really great work! Great idea and really cool! Good work!

Would be cool if there was one of these for the front page of HN. Pretty challenging to parse though. Headlines and comments should be simple enough, articles and images not so much.

This is amazing! Like the newspapers in harry potter. You’ve closed the loop on automating a dynamic, crowdsourced, curated front page. The meta paper.

Now do hackers news. It’ll be like the WSJ, a nice counterpart to this, which is a little more like US Weekly.
