Cozy Reader removes all the noise from the web articles that you want to read. It uses BlockStack to (forever) save all the articles; everythins is encrypted by default and accessible only by you. Nobody will see what are you reading and sell the data 🙅♀️👀
Hey Hunters! 👋
This is my first application using Blockstack and the Gaia Storage. I wanted to create my read it later service for a long time, and finally this month I took some extra days to launch it 🚀
Cozy permits to:
- save all the web articles that you want to read, access them later and read them whenever you want
- have a permanent and private copy of the article: Blockstack saves the article on a decentralized and encrypted storage (Gaia), so even if the website deletes the article you will always have a copy.
- choose your theme! 💅 You can change the background color, the font size and the line width. More customizations will follow in the next weeks ✨
- add a Firefox addon or a bookmarklet to add the articles directly from the webpage. Chrome extension is coming soon.
I learned so much from this simple project, like how to create a serverless API to parse the web pages and find the article, how to create a (not so simple) extension for Chrome and Firefox and how to comunicate and save data on Blockstack. It was a great moment of experience.
What do you think? Hope you like it!
@danielpichel Yes, after launching the Chrome Extension (it's still in review, it's been more than 2 weeks) I will extend the reading customization (like some selection of good fonts and different colors) and permit to save forever also the images of an article, not only the text.
Let me know if you have some features that could be a great improvement for Cozy 💪
Hey @urcoilbisurco, nice idea :) Do you know about Reader Mode? I saw it a few weeks ago. Nevertheless i think both of your products have unique features!
@vlad_gritsenko1 Thanks! Yes, I'm using it everyday to read articles when I find articles and have time to read in the moment, but doesn't permit to save the article to read it later or to have a secure private copy like Cozy. As you said, both products have unique features and different markets :)
