Neat! I'd like to give this a try with my family.

I noticed the MIT license, any plans to document how someone could self host this? Or would you be open to contributions from other people to do that?

Can you explain what you mean with "extract more information from you than google" here?

Not saying you're wrong, I'm just curious what sources or info you're using to make that claim.

Agreed, I would love that. With how varied screen readers can act between systems and web browsers I would like to have more "good" examples of what screen reader users would expect to encounter and consider a good experience.

I wonder if that would be legal, at least in the US. That feels like it'd be a violation of the ADA?

Gonna pile on to other's suggestions, and say Todoist can do this. You can schedule a task to happen every four weeks, and the next occurrence happen four weeks after you complete it (even if you're a few days late) or four weeks from when it was last due. Pretty nice for my needs, might fit yours too.

Adding the term "Ithaka" might help your search, that's the parent company that develops Jstor.

I understand the struggle here. I was interviewing at that company at one point, and it was difficult to do research on them and the Jstor platform for the reasons you listed.

No, I don't believe it is. I think it's part of the WikiMedia foundation, which itself is a non-profit. Could be wrong on that.

I interpreted the word "institutions" pretty broadly here though, since the original comment was talking about a whole "era". Not trying to disagree with the gist of the original comment, just making discussion about an edge case I thought of.

Wikipedia is the biggest thing that comes to mind for me.

However, I think that falls pretty squarely in the "internet" era rather than the "VC" era of your point. I'm not sure if that gets at the spirit of your argument (which I generally agree with).
