  • For a moment I thought you were referring to the Rust wrapper for LLVM (https://github.com/TheDan64/inkwell) but the name makes much more sense in this context.

  • The term inkwell is overused in the reading space.

  • I have been working on something similar myself. However, my articles are paginated so there's no need to scroll. Mine requires a bare minimum of JavaScript which she Kindle's are not able to do.

    The pagination has caused me a lot of problems. I think I should just admit that scrolling is fine.

    Well done - looks nice :-)

  • I have an always on linux server for projects and experiments. I ssh ed into it, ran claude and told it to run this as systemd user unit while giving it an opml file with all my feeds. 10 minutes later everything was working. Backups, caddy, let’s encrypt, admin auth…

    Claude aside, this is a very neat piece of software, worked flawlessly from the beginning and now I have all my feeds on my kindle effortlessly, thank you for this!

  • A photo of it being used on a physical device would do wonders here.
