Slow Web

One edition. A real bottom.

Slow Web generates one edition per day from the RSS feeds you choose. A finite page, like a newspaper. You open it, read through it, reach the last article, and there's nothing below. No pull-to-refresh. No second edition. Miss a day or a week; old editions sit in the archive if you want them, but they don't ask for anything.

No infinite scroll, no algorithm, no unread counts. Choose your own sources, read through them, and reach the bottom. Reading has a finish line again.

The reading experience

Clean reading view. No recommended content, no AI summaries, no share prompts. Four themes to read in: Japanese Minimal, European Newspaper, Hacker Minimalist, and Tokyo Portal. Toggle leading images on or off in the edition view for a text-only front page. Like an article to save it; select text to highlight it and add a note. Liked articles, highlights, and notes live in your archive, on-device. No account, no cloud.

Channels, offline, and the archive

Building a feed takes some effort. You choose which voices, publications, and creators show up in your edition rather than letting an algorithm decide. Multiple points of view, human-curated, in chronological order. Channels are RSS feed bundles organized by topic. Slow Web ships with seeded channels and any user can publish their own to a shared community directory. Others browse and add it with one tap, no accounts needed. Once an edition is generated it stays on your device. Read on the train, on a plane, in a park, or come back to it a year later. Every past edition is in a searchable archive. Highlights and channel data can be exported.
