For those (like me) who like paginated format and offline reading, but don't particularly need paper, Instapaper has a feature to send a collection of stories from your reading list to your kindle.

Where is the consent button? And what in the actual ef? What should one do if they click before your pop-up appears? Or click directly on a link from outside of your website? Please change it and don’t put your audience in a lose-lose.

#93Does it reset the typography to something for print? That would be cool.

This is illegal under GDPR. It is unclear what this even means. I mean yeah sure: If I surf your site you're gonna apply your sites privacy rules, no surprise there — but they still should allow me to go away if I don't want this or don't trust them. The surprise however is that the privacy rules is a damned PDF that you are expected to download and open? No thanks. If that is how privacy conscious people are treated I will pass.
1) Not giving me the choice to know what I should agree to beforehand and making agreement implicit is not cool.
2) Making it hard to read the rules is a no go (the rules should be on the site itself)
3) Is the tracking/data collection important enough to deface a site? I don't collect anything on my own sites and don't use cookies beyond what is technically needed, which is why I don't have to ask for consent.
The rough serverside access stats are totally enough for me and AFAIK they don't fall under GDPR as long as it is just aggregate numbers.
If you really want to do cookie based tracking and stuff, why not just make it a yes/no choice? Stuff like this is about branding as well. If the first thing you tell your potential visitors is that they have no choice you are hurting your own communications.

#951) You can put on "Dont Disturb" mode and that way you won't be distracted by notifications.
2) I don't think you can just print out other people's content, especially if there are ads.

#96Odd, when I click the play icon on the video, it just disappears.

#97Your service looks really neat! Is there a way I can use it without the extension? For example, can I paste a url into the website? I use Safari as my primary browser and am not interested at switching browsers at this time. However I am interested in trying My Screen Break!
Thanks! You can try with a url here ( https://demo.myscreenbreak.com/ ) but we are going to sunset this soon. We may add this within the app, but will create a safari extension as well. Generally the main reason going through via extension is that we can then provide the service to paid content users have access to and we don't. There are other technical considerations too.
Wow! This is incredible! Having extensions so that users can save content that's behind a paywall makes a ton of sense. As a (hopefully long-term) user of your service, I'd appreciate the ability to do something like this with the non-demo app so I could add articles when using my phone or other devices.
And if you took it a step further I would _love_ some form of API access (even with reasonable usage limits and legal restrictions to personal use only).

#98I imagine this will make a good paywall workaround too for a month or two.
Re: Show HN: Turn your “read later” folder into a physical book
#99Can this service work for articles behind paywalls?

#100That's effectively what ReMarkable is trying to achieve with its Read-On-Remarkable[1] extension to send web content to your e-reader.
Now their reading software is currently much maligned (unlike the writing part which is apparently best-in-class), but if they improve things a little then it could also be a good solution.
Of course print as PDF and send to any e-reader is also an option that doesn't involve printing paper.
Cool idea though, I do find myself not bothering to save longer form content for reading later. I was hoping ReMarkable might help me in that.
