CurEightCurated reading · Early access
Curated reading on the subjects you care about.
People who know a subject pick the articles, videos and podcast episodes worth your time, explain how they connect, and publish them as a short issue. Follow the curators you trust, or start a curation of your own.

The format
Every issue has three parts
- 01
The main points, up front
A TL;DR of what the six links say, so you know what matters before you open one.
- 02
Six links, chosen by hand
A named curator follows one subject and picks the six pieces worth your time: articles, videos or podcast episodes.
- 03
An editorial that connects them
A short piece on what the six have in common and why each one is there.
