Newspaper

~ew

I walk into The Midnight after a nice walk. It's a bit chilly around here by now, but no snow yet. ~bartender has seen me come in and briefly talk to the newcomer. So my stout is already in the works.

At the counter I see a big newspaper being held by ... Hmm. I need to change places to find out, it seems. Oh, its ~ealpmx. "¡Buenas tardes, hombre!" I say in my ramshackle Spanish. He looks up and smiles. "¡Buenaaas!" I stare at his paper unable to make out, what it is. Then it dawns on me! He's looking at a printout of this weeks news items on Antenna! I'm impressed. Best offline reading ever! And still hot off the press! How nice! Good work, ealpmx!

¡Salud!

Hey! Thanks for sharing, and great Spanish BTW!

I was disconnected from everything for personal reasons and I hadn't seen your post. I'm glad you like it =)

I'll be sharing the source code for next weeks and an update for the weekly Magazine/Newspaper soon. ¡Salud!

This is awesome!

I recently set up wallabag so I could easily save articles for later and have the added benefit of easy epubs/mobis for my kindle-in-always-airplane-mode!

There is something very nice about reading the news (especially my own custom feed) on a near paper device while sitting in the sun <3.

I need to give this a try. I use my ebook reader constantly, and having an epub of the week's Antenna feed would be a good alternative to having a Gemini client on it.
