Show HN: I built a tool to help you read Hacker News on Kindle

Hi HN, I'm Daniel Nguyen. In June, I quit my job to start indie hacking full-time. The idea of KTool first came to my mind when I was reading "Ask HN: I'm a software engineer going blind, how should I prepare?"[0] I've been wearing glasses since I was 5. My right eye is basically blind. Doctors said there is no chance to cure it. I was genuinely scared. Like holy shit, if my left eye stops working, my life is done. Since then I've been very conscious about time spent on computer screens. That's when I started using Kindle-related products: to offload as many reading materials as possible to the Kindle. I was a happy customer of Push to Kindle. Great product! Then I ran into multiple limitations which led me to build KTool: a tool to send anything online to Kindle. Blog posts, Twitter threads, Hacker News discussions, RSS, newsletters... you name it. But I'm not here to pitch my vision for KTool. I built a specific tool to help you send HN discussions to your Kindle. And in the spirit of Show HN, it doesn't require an account. If you don't own a Kindle, there is the option to download the EPUB. Let me know what you think. Any feedback will be much appreciated. If you're a Kindle owner and you read a lot of online content, give KTool a try. [0]: https://ift.tt/aFQnCoW

Someone has scraped my contact information from my profile and is sending me an unsolicted "HackerNews" newsletter. People ... don't do that. Yes, you have an unsubscribe link, but that doesn't excuse the unsolicited sending of a screencap of your rendering of "top stories". At the end you say: "You're receiving this email because you signed up on HackerNews" That is a lie, and a tactic used by utter scum. Be better. ======== Edit: Note that this isn't random spam. It's specific to HN, showing a screencap/image of the HN front page. And then it lies about "signing up". If it were random spam I'd delete and move on. It's not, it's deliberately targetting the HN audience, and that's why I've mentioned it.
