26 July 2013. I read offline. Often. Readlists.com is doing something nifty to help.

Screencapture from Readlists.com of the Readlist for a Mashable story. http://readlists.com/c7a228f4/

Send to Kindle! Send to iPhone/iPad! No idea what Readmill is! Save to Dropbox! Email ebook! (an epub file). Download e-book! These are all (except for Readmill; must try it) handy, nifty things. It would make it easier for me to drill down into my Medium reading list in bed, in line at the market, on a date, skydiving – anywhere connectivity sucks and I have the two to eight minutes to snack on a Medium post.

Build this into Medium. Let me do this sort of export on:

  • My reading list
  • My published posts (data portability, baby)
  • My draft posts (for offline collaboration and review)
  • A collection (read through a topic)
  • The Medium front page
  • My comments/threads

Sooner, better, thanks.

Love, Phil

p.s. Readlists is made by the delightful folks at http://arc90.com/

p.p.s. Mashable embeds Readlists’ nifty tool panel using codes like:
