Hi! I got tired of ads ruining my reading, so I built an app
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Tony
I'm a self-taught software engineer, and like many of you here, I've been tinkering away on a side project that I'm finally ready to share with the world.
Here's the thing: I do most of my reading on my phone - news, longform articles, research. But the mobile web has become unbearable. You know the drill: click an article, get slammed with popups, auto-playing videos, cookie banners, and ads that push the actual content down the screen. Sometimes I spend more time fighting the page than actually reading.
So I built something to fix it. An Android app that strips away all the noise and gives you just the article.
I'm launching here soon and would love to connect with fellow builders and readers.
What's your biggest frustration with reading on mobile? I'd genuinely love to hear if this resonates with others or if I'm just being overly cranky about popups 😅
Excited to be part of this community!
Tony
