We have these amazing little computers in our hands. What are some beneficial things we can do with them? Websites, apps, tinkering… anything you can think of or things you already do. I’m tired of doom scrolling.

    Reading. Books are super easy to ahem find. OLED screens make reading really comfortable at night. Black background, dark orange text, and turn off all the lights and it’s like text is floating in the air in front of you. There are plenty of epub readers out there. Moonreader is my favorite. I paid $5 for it years and years ago now. Absolutely worth it.

      You can also borrow ebooks through your library’s ebook app, there are a few types. I have signed up for many digital library cards with fake addresses, I get more selection and they get funding, it’s a win for all.

        I have the problem where I live in a country where I do not speak the language of the majority. Libraries aren’t much use to me, here. I do have a card, though. I should see if they do the epub lending thing in English.
