I really enjoyed https://waldenpond.press/ when it was up and running. They selected articles from your pocket once a month and then printed, bound, and mailed them to you. When I discovered the service I had a 500 hour reading backlog, and for $14/mo I was getting 100+ page books of self-curated content. They were perfect for flights, trips, and lending out. I was able to force it to include recipes as well, and I still find myself referencing them frequently.

If I’d have known about them sooner, they’d have all my money.

I would have absolutely loved this. I would love for someone to do this with Substack or podcast transcripts.

I had the same thought! I've been attempted to cobble together a solution to do essentially this over the years!

Also a previous user of waldenpress - it was amazing to have the pocket backlog made so tangible. Now that pocket is packing up, it'll make it even more difficult for WP to re-start.

I built something quite like this with epubs for another read it later service. There are lots of them!
