On the other hand, I like how with your Terms of Service, you have the actual terms in one column and then summarize/simplify them in a second column. [1]

Well spotted. I set that page up before I've even started on the rest of the site because I needed it for the auth, and haven't gone back to it. It'll give me something to do this weekend! Thanks for the reminder.
Really cute project, do you have any curated lists or do I have to build my own?
Thanks! We don't have any specifically curated lists yet. We've talked about it a lot though.
There is a mega list of articles that other people have saved here: https://waldenpond.press/2020/08/30/popularity.html
There are also some really good curated lists out there, e.g. https://tetw.org/ to plug the gap for now

awesome, thank you for the links
[yorgos_kats][1] posted [My Screen Break][2], which looks really nice! People sent me messages about it because it has a lot in common with what I'm working on: [Walden Pond][3] ( https://WaldenPond.press ).
You connect your [Pocket][4] account, and once a month you get a printed magazine. You can subscribe for 1, 2 or 4 hours of reading time. I got my 7th one on [Monday this week][5].
We deliver anywhere in the world, except Antarctica.
It has been a pandemic project to build it as a "real" product, but I've been making these zines for my friends for a bit over 2 years now. This means that I've come across and fixed an amazing number of edge cases!
I initially started building it because I couldn't find anything that did the job. I've since turned up [Quarto][6] by [Elan Kiderman][7], which is similar; [newspaperclub.com][8] had a product that did something along these lines but using their presses, and as [jamez][9] noted in the replies to [yorgos_kats][1] post, [Memeoirs][10]; and [pulp][11] by [Outofthebot][12], but that's shut down.
The pagination is done using [Paged.js][13], and their community has been super helpful. It's amazing what can be done with the holy trinity of HTML, CSS & JS.
If you want to see some pictures of the physical thing, take a look at [Instagram][14] and [Twitter][15].
