🛠️ Crayon, the web's first personalized newspaper (1995), relaunched
Summary
Crayon is a rebuilt version of the 1995 personalized news service, which was the web's first personalized newspaper. Stories are ranked by independent-source count rather than an engagement algorithm, and old subscriber accounts can access their original papers as time capsules.
Why it’s interesting
It relaunches a historic 1995 web project where old 1996 passwords still work and historical subscriber papers are preserved as time capsules.
