Sample library
Reading Lite summarizes what you save and connects it to what you have already read. These sample readings show how: open one to see its summary, what it adds, and the connections and tensions it has with the others.
A quieter internet is a choice we can make
The best tools for thought give us somewhere to return, not another stream to keep up with. A personal library can turn the internet from a demand on our attention into a place for deliberate reading.
The case for a little friction
Not every interruption is a distraction. A deliberate pause or well-placed question can help a reader notice assumptions that a seamless interface would let pass.
Libraries are gardens, not warehouses
An archive grows more useful through care, not accumulation. Revisiting and connecting a small set of readings can do more for understanding than collecting a much larger set.
The tab that never closes
An open tab is a promise, not a plan. Saving a reading gives it somewhere to wait without asking for attention, so the tab can close and the piece can come back when it matters.
Slow reading week
A one-week experiment in reading three long pieces instead of thirty short ones, kept as a single log with one standing question.
Against the endless queue
A reading queue can become a list of obligations. Rivera proposes keeping a small set of active interests and allowing the rest to remain an archive.
