Beak: What
Beak sends a collection of news, some relevant information, and interesting content to your Kindle every morning.
Beak envisions itself a replacement for reading your phone first thing in the morning, as part of a healthy info diet.
Beak: Motivation
→ Humans want to be generally informed, and enjoy reading things, especially over coffee.
→ The 'normal' process of pursuing the element of being informed means reading your phone.
→ This process naturally results in exposure to the ill wafts of internet miasma.
→ Exposure to internet miasma and noxious app effluvia upsets the bile and disorders the humors.
→ Disordered-humor humans are generally a less happy lot.
Beak: Soothing That What Ails Ya
→ As an Epub, Beak can't be cooerced into expansion: there's nothing to click, no pop-ups, and no sidetracking. All you can do is turn the pages!
How can I be part of this glorious new future?
