1 - I don't think I'd use.

2 - Instapaper has offered Kindle bundling for a long time.

3 - This sounds interesting. I'd like to hear more.

4 - I don't have a use case for it today.

5 - I think this kind of thing has been done for a while.

Thanks for your feedback.

For 3, I really think we as developers don't spend as much time reading source code of others as we should be. So, this solves 2 problems:

1. Give repo creators ability to define the order in which people should read source code using a simple manifest which just lists the source files in an order. We can also default to an order based on the framework/language. E.g. Rails apps have a structure vs Elixir apps which have their own structure.

2. Build an epub/mobi/pdf which can be sent to Kindle or to any other device where the user can browse through the code at their own pace.
