Lint

Lint provides a quiet place to read public-domain books and helps readers finish classics by delivering one chapter per day. It targets readers who want a simple, guided habit for completing long works, without accounts or paywalls to hinder progress. The service emphasizes properly typeset text and a focus on daily reading rather than cataloging every title. The approach centers on pacing readers through long-form literature in manageable increments.

The workflow consists of three steps: pick a book from a catalog of public-domain titles, build a stack that Lint remembers in order and where you left off, and read a chapter each day. This structure aims to make daily reading feasible while maintaining a clear sense of advancement across multiple titles.

Lint emphasizes hand-built stacks over algorithmic recommendations, providing curated groups of books to start from. Examples include The Victorian Doorstops, American Wilderness, and Gothic Nights, illustrating a range of themes and authors in a selectable sequence.

The tool is currently in private beta, inviting interested readers to sign up for an invitation when the next batch opens. It invites user input to gain access and continues to polish the experience for readers who prefer a steady daily cadence.
