Post Description

Passages is a web app for saving articles from around the web and turning them into beautifully typeset ebooks you can read on your e-reader. It takes a different approach from other "read later apps" by focusing on content extraction and cleanup first, then rendering with typographic care, so your saved reads actually look and feel like they belong on an e-ink screen.

The workflow is simple: save articles through a browser extension (Chrome and Firefox) organize them into collections, and export those collections as a single ebook whenever you're ready to read offline. You get a curated, distraction-free reading experience.

I built passages to fight my lack of attention when trying to read long-form articles in a computer screen it has helped me to finally consume my backlog of articles collected over the years
