We used to have space to read. At some point, everything you would ever read was moved to your inbox. Replace that endless stream with The Reading Room.
Add it to your contacts and forward newsletters you actually want to read when you have time.
Everything is organized by author, waiting for when you're ready to focus.
No notifications, no pressure. Just thoughtful content in a calm space.

Each RSS feed was a conscious choice.In an age of endless scrolling, we've forgotten how to truly read. Remember when the internet was a collection of rooms, not an infinite hallway? Each blog was a destination. Each RSS feed was a conscious choice. We'd sit with Google Reader open in one tab, moving through our subscriptions with intention, letting each piece of writing have its moment. The inbox wasn't always a flood—it was a carefully curated reading list.
