I built an app that turns my saved articles into one EPUB

He saved articles and never read them, because on his phone he ended up on social media or email instead. So he built a reading app with AI and the AI that bundles his saved articles into one EPUB for his Xteink X4 Pro e-reader.

How it works

  1. Builds a reading app with AI and the AI
  2. The app bundles his saved articles into one EPUB
  3. The EPUB goes onto his Xteink X4 Pro e-reader

Why it’s worth knowing

He did not buy another reading app. He had agents build one that packs his saved articles into a single file for his e-reader.
