Several HNers have BeeLine-enabled their websites to increase reader engagement, and to improve accessibility. I'm eternally grateful to the HN community, whose support of our massive Show HN [1] led to press coverage that helped get this business started.

If anyone here is interested in adding our widget to their site, please ping me (contact at beelinereader dot com) and I'd be happy to make this happen.

Here are various examples of HNers who have implemented our tech on their sites:

• https://jaack.me/2022-dati-previsioni-2023/

• https://programaudioseries.com/1-you-had-me-at-hello-world/

• https://wildcardpeople.com/what-is-a-wildcard-person

Other sites, including MIT Press Reader, have also implemented the tech and included it in their text settings

• https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-new-art-of-making-boo...

More info is available on the BeeLine Reader website: http://www.beelinereader.com

Mine: https://schmud.de/ A humanities take on tech. I'm always nervous how the sidenotes render on other webviews. But my favorite part is the automatically generated historical timeline ( https://schmud.de/timeline.html ). It is essentially a meaningfully different ordering of the same writing.

I really like your sidenodes! They play nicely on mobile too, which is impressive. I always notice how much empty space there is on the desktop view for mine, but I don't want to clutter the page too much for non-huge monitors.

Yeah, I really like them too! Is it just a second column?

https://sanyamkapoor.com With my most recent iteration, I have started using my website more as a mental decluttering tool than a show-tell medium. The wesbite is a bunch of markdown files spiced up with Next.js and my first attempt at structured navigation. I keep a similar private one. I've now been rethinking of reorganizing into a flat heirarchy + what I like to call "theme portals" - essentially big picture entr…

I like your page layout/theme a lot. It's very readable and the tags/emoji make elements pop out nicely.

Thank you!

The typography/layouts come from Tailwind Typography [1]. I like their defaults.

https://simonsarris.com - Fairly mundane, but has a city pop up in the background. I've been meaning to remake it more interestingly, but many other projects to do. Most of my writing content is now on Substack, instead.

currently working on a microblogging social network, though only about 1 hour a night, so it will take some time.
