Source.

Source is the human-powered network for physical information access. Every day, students, academics, collectors, journalists, and researchers need access to books, archives, manuscripts, and private collections that are not digitised. Most knowledge still lives physically in libraries, archives, and home collections worldwide. Source connects you to someone who is already there.
Nothings
Read full descriptionHide full description
People less cynical than myself have called it hope-scrolling. Nothings is an attempt to reinforce the positive habit of reading poetry. Along with a feed that matches poems to your mood, there's a new poem every day, and you can create and curate your own poetry collections. This app also matches art to poems, and there's a poetry news feed that acts as a window into more contemporary publications. There's no ads, no subscription and your data is not shared with third parties. Our goal is to fund server costs through book sales.
