Show HN: Analog Reader – Turn newsletters into printable newspapers

I absolutely hate what the internet does to my brain, to my capacity for focus, and to how little I retain information.

I've been slowly migrating away from reading online to offline. Started a few years ago with a reMarkable tablet, then an Onyx Boox for colored papers. But newsletters always fell off my radar. There's just too much going on in my inbox.

So I built a tool that takes any RSS feed (Substack, Ghost, etc.) and formats it as a printable newspaper.

Tech: Single HTML file, vanilla JS, no backend. Fetches feeds via CORS proxy (Cloudflare Worker). Renders into a 3-column A4 layout.

I don't own a printer, though, haha. I just send the PDF to my reMarkable. But I'm curious if there's interest in getting a personalized newspaper like this actually delivered to your door.

Would love feedback on the layout, and curious how others handle the "too many newsletters" problem.
