Read something that ends.
Issue No. 0
He didn't want another app to quit. He wanted a paper he could finish.
Most nights he picked up his phone to check one thing and looked up forty minutes later, unsure what he had read. The feeds weren't bad. They just never stopped.
So he asked for something older: a newspaper written for one reader, delivered twice a day, with a last page. You're holding the first issue. It's about itself. The next one will be about you.
Also inside
Covers your teams, your town and your people, and files twice a day. Page 2.

The morning paper lands at 6 AM, and the evening paper at 6 PM. Each one is put together from what you care about: your teams, your town, your friends, and whatever else you ask for.
Every edition has a last page. When you reach it, you're done. There's no feed and nothing to refresh. The next one comes when it comes.
