I spent a week building a website that is a repository of timeless content. It generally consists of old magazine articles (though not exclusively) that you can pick up at any time and will bring value to your life. I notice most of what we consume on daily basis is ephemeral and not all that valuable outside of the moment, whereas ever-present content is always valuable.
The unique angle here is that each article includes a hand-written summary explaining why the article was meaningful to the curator. This gives you a quick window into the piece without being overwhelming.
Since this is a free website mostly to be shared with friends and family, I implemented user login via "phone number" to save and submit articles, but without a one-time token. So it's "password-less" for now; a trust-based system.
It's basically 'done' - but I'm not sure that I want to share it publicly for the aforementioned reasons. I've been using it on my subway rides to read more interesting stuff. So far so good.
From that I’m guessing you don’t want to open it to random HN folk, but if you ever do, it sounds a great resource and something I’d love to participate in.
