The Morning Press

A newspaper about your own day, printed before you get up. Four steps, about ten minutes, and most of that is choosing what to call it.

  1. Name your paper "set up my newspaper"

    It asks what the paper is called, where it's from, and which of three mastheads you want — and it shows you all three rather than describing them.

  2. Point it at your calendar

    Connect one and it fetches on its own. Or export an .ics from any calendar app and drop it in inbox/. The newspaper is identical either way.

  3. Build one now "make today's paper"

    So you see it before tomorrow morning does.

  4. Let it run itself

    Setup offers to schedule the morning run, an hour before you wake, so the edition is finished by the time you're up.

The one thing worth knowing up front

The edition builds in the cloud and will be waiting whether or not your laptop is open. Printing is different — that needs your machine awake and on the same network as the printer. If you want paper in your hand at six, the machine stays awake. No setting changes that.

No printer? Nothing is lost. You get a finished, print-ready page — open it and press print whenever you like.

If something goes wrong

Say what happened in plain words and it'll land in the right place: "it didn't print", "my paper is missing events", "the text is too small", "change the masthead".
