DustpanPaste

DustpanPaste turns any copied text into a clean, distraction-free reading page, designed for e-ink devices like Kobo. It fills the gap read-later apps struggle with: social posts, comments, partial excerpts, and login-gated content. Copy only what you care about, generate a minimal reading page, and send it to Instapaper in one click, with seamless sync to Kobo e-readers. I built DustpanPaste because I love finding thoughtful writing online — but I hated how often I ended up finishing it on a bright screen. A lot of things I want to read later don’t work well with traditional read-later apps: social posts, comments, partial excerpts, or text behind logins. I’d often end up reading them on my phone anyway, even though I prefer e-ink. So I made a small tool for myself: copy the text I care about → turn it into a clean reading page → send it to Instapaper → read it later on e-ink. What makes it different: ✂️ Save only the text you care about (not entire pages) 📄 Instantly generate a clean, e-ink-friendly reading page 🔁 One-click send to Instapaper (which syncs nicely to Kobo) 🌐 Works everywhere: website, Chrome extension, LINE & Telegram bots 🧠 Auto-generate short, readable titles with AI It started as a personal fix for eye strain and screen fatigue, and only later became something I decided to share.
