Hi,

I just launched an online service called Scroll.

  * Scroll can turn news website into a clean HTML view.
  * You don't have to share a URL with fullscreen ads anymore. You can share the readable article URL by Scroll.
  * You can search articles. Every link is clutter-free just before you read. Your battery will thank you.
  * It's mobile optimized.
  * No Sign Up required.

I would love any and all feedback. Be harsh, be helpful. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks. I'll take a look. Would you please tell me what web browser are you using? eg. Chrome, IE, or firefox ?

[lukastsai]

fixed this problem in Firefox. Thanks.

Legalities?

[lukastsai]

Honestly, I don't know yet. Since there are already some pioneer like Instapaper and Readability. I believe everything will be fine.

( Am I ? )

I'm not a lawyer, but unless the publisher agree, you're probably not fine. IIRC, Instapaper and readability run on the client. They don't reproduce the complete article on the server.

I'd also argue that you're in a morally murky area. Call me old-fashioned (and give me one while you're at it), but I respect these journalists and the people that pay them.

What about the Amazons "Send to Kindle" service?

[lukastsai]

I think I am a dead man now.

I'll try to understand the legal issue.

I will also try to find some journalists and start learning how to respect their job.

Thanks for reminding me.
