The Take

One click appends the current page URL to analogreader.com and turns posts into a newspaper-style PDF; the extension is tiny (~7.7KB) and the developer explicitly says it doesn't collect data. It's not a novel idea — mostly a convenience wrapper around an existing service — but it's a tidy, privacy-minded tool for anyone who wants to move web articles into a print-friendly, reMarkable-friendly format; batch sends or direct device integrations would lift this from handy to indispensable.

Target Audience

Readers who follow newsletters/Substack/Ghost, people who prefer printable layouts or use e-ink devices (reMarkable), analog/newsletter enthusiasts

Post Description

A bit of context, Analog Reader is a tool I built that takes any RSS feed (Substack, Ghost, etc.) and formats it as a printable newspaper.

I've launched analogreader.com here before, now I'm here just to share some updates.

I've since created a Chrome Extension that allows you to send any article you are currently looking at to analogreader.com with one click. That way, it's much easier to transform digital into paper. It's a very simple chrome extension, I don't capture any data from you, it literally just appends the current post url to analogreader.com.

Let me know if you have any issues with it!

How I use it these days: I just send the PDF to my reMarkable. But I'm curious if there's interest in getting a personalized newspaper like this actually delivered to your door.

I've asked this before but hell, I'm asking it again: how do you handle the "too many newsletters" problem?

CrossX – iOS/macOS App to Convert web/X articles to ePub for e-reader

Sends cleaned EPUBs straight to an Xteink over its Wi‑Fi hotspot using on‑device parsing, a Safari share extension, and automatic mDNS detection for stock and CrossPoint firmware. Nice local-first stance — no cloud or accounts — and it even bundles a file manager and activity history. Parsing images and batch conversion are called out as next steps; those would make this useful beyond its already-specific audience.
