Beacon vs Biblio Times

Beacon brings the sites and people you follow into one reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Paste a site address and Beacon finds its RSS, Atom or JSON feed. Follow Mastodon and Bluesky accounts as feeds of their own. Bring your subscriptions from another reader with OPML, and take them with you whenever you like. Looking for more? Follow suggests sites that what you read already links to, and the websites of people you follow.

Biblio Times sets the feeds you choose as a morning newspaper. Each morning your device collects the public feeds of the publications you pick and lays them out as a paper: a front page, sections, columns, headlines in a proper serif, and photographs screened as halftones. On iPhone the paper arrives folded in half; pull it open to read below the fold. On iPad and Mac it opens as a spread. YOUR SOURCES Tick from starter feeds for your country and for Ideas, Dispatches and Design, or add any site or feed address of your own. Nothing is ticked for you. Change the mix at any time; the next edition prints it. TWO EDITIONS The Biblio edition is set in Fraunces and Timeless on paper stock. The Digital edition is a tight grotesk. Choose the paper, the picture style, and the size of the type. READ IT AS A PAPER Tap a headline to read the story where it was published, or print it on the page in the paper's own type. Clip stories to keep. Back issues stay on the rack for a fortnight. Send a story to Biblio or to your e-reader as a book. Ask for a morning call when the paper is ready. YOUR DEVICE IS THE PRESS The paper is made on your device from the publishers' own feeds. Nothing is routed through Biblio's servers, there is no account, and Biblio keeps no copy of what you read. The stories remain their publishers'; the paper is for your own reading. THE PRESS PASS Your first three papers are on the house. After them the press runs for holders of the Press Pass, bought once from Apple for every device signed in with your Apple Account. A Press Founder holds the pass for their family too, and has their name printed on their paper. Biblio Times is a craft by agenti.nz, from the same press as Biblio, the 3D bookshelf, and Atelier.
