Show HN: Thinker App – Automate Your Information Intake

Re:Show HN: Thinker App – Automate Your Information Intake by personjerry on Tuesday July 07, 2020 @07:54AM (#23758227)

Hey HN! I built this app that basically reads articles for you.

I found I was opening too many HN articles and then never getting around to reading them, so I wrote a little script to help. I had tried bookmarking apps but they actually enabled my procrastination. I got some interest from friends, so I fleshed out the script into a small service, added some convenience features, and this is where I'm at.

Please hit me with any questions or feedback! I'd love to hear what you think.

I also added HACKER1 as a promo code in-app so HNers can get a free month of service :)

I took a look at the example articles and I just want to say that for a 13" macbook retina display with default 2x scaling at 1280x800, I found the font size to be a bit too small and thin. I personally liked it a bit more at font-size of 1.2em with a font-weight of 400, but that could use some fine tuning perhaps. I think the main issue is that using pt can be a problem, em/rem would display more consistently across screens.

    Thinker is an app that automates your learning. It enables you to:
    - Jump to key info instantly using AI.
    - Stop redundantly checking sites like Hacker News.
    - Permanently archive every article.

How are you archiving the articles?

What I'm doing right now is saving the page's HTML. Later on I plan to save the assets too.
