I built KTool (https://ktool.io) — it allows you to forward web articles, newsletters and RSS feeds to your Kindle. --- I did a Show HN 4 months ago[1]. The reason I started KTool was to spend less time on computer screens, and more on e-ink Kindle. I was afraid of going blind. After 4 months improving KTool, it now become a tool to help you combat doom-scrolling. Instead of mindless scrolling the web, I deliberately send interesting articles to my Kindle. Recently, I added newsletter & RSS support, it's 100% automated now. My favorite source of content is Hacker News RSS[2], Stratechery[3], and a few other Substack newsletters. I can enjoy reading HN latest stories or my fav authors' latest pieces on my Kindle without spending hours browsing on my computer. I just reached $580 MRR today (Dec 31st) [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32637996 [2]: https://hnrss.github.io [3]: https://stratechery.com.

Sleeve

I'm one of the creators of Sleeve, a "now playing" desktop accessory for the Mac https://replay.software/sleeve. We charge a one time fee for the app, and average around $700/mo. We've been working on it entirely in our spare time for the last couple of years.
