Slow Reads

The case for owning your reading list again

Social feeds optimize for engagement, not understanding. The result is a diet of takes that are hot, abundant, and forgotten by Tuesday...

RSS never went away. It just stopped being loud about itself. Your favorite blogs, podcasts, and newsletters still publish feeds. You just need a reader that gets out of the way...

Why random?

The best article to read next is one you didn't have to choose.

Every list-based reader puts the same quiet burden on you: which one first?
You scan titles, weigh relevance, feel vaguely guilty about the ones you skip. That friction adds up. Spoonfed removes it entirely.

No decision fatigue

You chose which feeds to trust when you subscribed. That's the only editorial decision you need to make. Spoonfed handles the rest: one article surfaces, you read or skip it, and the next one appears.

Every feed gets a fair turn

A high-volume feed can't crowd out a quieter one you love. Because articles are served randomly across all your subscriptions, a weekly long-read lands with the same chance as today's breaking news.

Reading without anxiety

There is no unread count to clear, no badge demanding attention. When you're done for the day, you stop. When new articles arrive, they quietly join the queue. The reader waits; it doesn't nag.

Library

Bookmark, quote, and find it all in one place.

Your Library is where the good stuff goes. Bookmark an article, or highlight a passage and save it as a quote with an optional note. Bookmarks and quotes sit together in one timeline, and they stay there until you decide otherwise.

  • Bookmark any article
  • Select any text to save a quote with one click
  • Add Markdown notes to quotes for context or reflection
  • Library items are kept forever
