Motivation

As a regular HN reader, I know that some of the most interesting
content is in the comment section, not necessarily in the article
itself. It would be great if I could read the entire discussion
offline, on a comfortable e-ink screen.

KTool for Kindle

Features at a glance

I tried my best to keep the same styles as the original HN page.

  * Send HN discussion to your Kindle in one click
  * Fast! No PDF conversion needed.
  * Article usually delivered within a minute^*
  * Child comments get proper indentation so you understand the
    context better
  * Downvoted comments are grayed out

    [...] I cant wait to try it. Just need to send a discussion I am
    really interested in, happens every few weeks or so..

KTool for Kindle

Easy to navigate

Like any forum, when reading child comments, the conversation could
get off-topic real quick.

I wanted to quickly move to the next top-level comment, which usually
sets a different context or new perspectives.

KTool makes it easy with a chapter selection by leveraging the
built-in Table of Content

    I love the quality of KTool article conversion, much better that
    what I had built, which was better than other solutions!

Who am I?

I'm Daniel Nguyen. In June, I quit my job to start indie hacking
full-time.

The idea of KTool first came to my mind when I was reading Ask HN:
I'm a software engineer going blind, how should I prepare?

I've been wearing glasses since I was 5. My right eye is basically
blind. Doctors said there is no chance to cure it.

I was genuinely scared. Like holy shit, if my left eye stops working,
my life is done. Since then I've been very conscious about time spent
on computer screens.

That's when I started using Kindle-related products: to offload as
many reading materials as possible to the Kindle. I was a happy
customer of Push to Kindle. Great product!!

Then I ran into multiple limitations which led me to build KTool: a
tool to send anything online to Kindle. Blog posts, Twitter threads,
Hacker News discussions, RSS, newsletters, your favorite manga... you
name it.

I built this specific page for sending Hacker News discussions to
your Kindle. If you want to read other content, give KTool a try.
