Saved articles, in a zine, delivered every month

Hi HN, [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].
