...aaaaaand we're back: cozy.ayco.io -ayo
Remove distractions. Save for later.
Cozy is your modern-day reading assistant.
Here's what this project is building:
- An app that just works, no sign-ups or set-ups.
- Progressively enhanced experience. Main feature works even without JS. Removing distractions happen on the server and dead clean HTML gets delivered
- All your data are cached and does not leave your device; offline access is by default
- Cloud-sync will be opt-in, with your choice of provider
- Will also explore smart insights, such as:
- text summarization
- dominant emotion
- other sources for lateral reading

Browser Extensions | ||
Native Apps |
1. Copy, Paste
It's simple. When you open an article and want to turn it into a more cozy reading experience, just copy the url and paste it to the app's address bar.
2. One-click Bookmark
A bookmarklet could run a script to open the current page for you on Cozy. You can create this new bookmark titled 'Get cozy!' and put the following as value for the URL:
javascript:(function(){ window.open('https://cozy.ayco.io/?url=%27 + window.location.href, %27_self%27); })();
This is possible on all major browsers, including Safari on iOS (where I personally use this often). Some screenshots:

3. One-click Extension then...
It doesn't exist yet... I'll probably get to creating a browser extension at some point. But for now, PRs welcome! :)
We are thankful for all the building blocks provided by the following projects:
- Astro for our server-side rendering framework
- @ayco/astro-resume for communicating necessary data from server to client
- @ayco/astro-sw for taking app's service worker, and injecting needed dynamic assets & variables (simple, and dev's retain control)
- @extractus/article-extractor for the amazing scraping of articles
- astro-iconify for easily icon-sets in iconify
- sass for some nested styling
- ultrahtml for any cleanup and transformation we do on the received article content
- fastify for our production server and nginx as reverse proxy
If any of the above seems to need improvement for you, we are always eager to hear feedback and welcome all contributions. See our CONTRIBUTING guide for more info.
