Looks like it's back now ...

Good to know. Thanks!

If you get used to this way, using email to read web articles, you can use it to navigate web pages in mailbox. For example, send anything to hn@snipek.com to get hack news, and click & send mail to read each articles.

Send email message to read@snipek.com , with a URL in subject line. Then you'll get a readable email of that web page. You can read it offline on mobile mail client. That's how I read long web articles these days.

It's simple. I just fetch RSS: https://news.ycombinator.com/rss

To be precise, I just use the first 10 items in the rss :)

From metrics, seems users use web@snipek.com more than other functions of this project, so I just made snipek.com/web the front page (snipek.com) last night ...

One of my side project is trying to make email as a web portal, that is, letting people do as many things as possible in email -- http://snipek.com. Well, I dogfood this project a lot in my daily life :)

1) Readability inside email (http://snipek.com/read). Send a url to read@snipek.com and you'll get a reply with readable content of the web page. And it becomes a way to navigate through links in email. You send a link to read@snipek.com, then you'll get the content of the web page in email, without leaving mail client to browser.

2) Read news (http://snipek.com/news/)

3) Create web page for your email messages, so you can share the web page on social network (http://snipek.com/web) -- forward any message to web@snipek.com

or just me?

Looks like more and more academic conferences become sort of commercial things ... Getting a lot of such academic conference spam emails.

What's the most creative spam you've received? Forward that spam message to web@snipek.com, and you can get a URL for that spam mail and share here.

Send any URL in subject line to read@snipek.com.

Yes, you are right. It's a specific email message. I'll change the wording a bit :)

Indeed, you've pointed out some nice use cases that I didn't think of. Thanks for your comments!

Turn your email into a Web Page, so you can share the URL of your email via email or social media.

Or simply send email to i@snipek.com with subject "read" (without quote) and the URL of any web page in body.

Combined with this function, you can also read hacker news in your mailbox: http://snipek.com/hackernews/ or simply send email to i@snipek.com with subject "hn" (without quote).

When you get the content after sending 'hn', you can click on the title of each article, which will let you send out another mail with title 'read' to read the article.

subject line 'hn' (without the quote)

Or simply send an email to i@snipek.com with subject line 'hn'
