Zined
Your personal magazine.
Save articles from anywhere, forward in your email newsletters, follow your favourite feeds. Then read them like a zine, not a feed.
iPhone · Mac · Web · Invite-only
Forward it. Done.
Forward any newsletter to your Zined address and it lands as a clean, readable issue, grouped by sender, not lost in your inbox. Web articles get the same treatment: one share from your phone and the ads, popups, and sidebars are gone.
Mozilla Readability under the hood, the same engine as reader mode in Firefox. RSS and Atom feeds welcome too.
A magazine that ends
Zined suggests topics from what you actually save, keeps an honest history of what you've read, and stops when you're done. No ranking, no dopamine loop, no infinite anything.
Unread is a stack of good intentions; History is the proof you followed through.
Back when it meant something
Remember when your friends list was eight hand-picked people, not a follower count? Zined brings it back: make a list for a mate, fill it with things they'd love, add a note about why, and send them one link.
They don't need an account to read it. If they get one, a single tap saves your whole list into their own Zined.
G'day
I'm Mitch. I make many things, one at a time, and Zined is the newest one on the shelf. It exists because I missed how reading felt in the quiet internet days: someone hands you a magazine, you read it, it ends, and you go do something else.
Zined is small on purpose. It's run by a person, not a platform, it never ranks you, and its best feature is making something for a friend. That's the whole thngs spirit: build the small thing properly, give it to people you like.
One thing at a time. Mitch
