This is basically a rip off the previously discussed (and much more well-written) original here: https://onezero.medium.com/the-morning-paper-revisited-35b40...

It was previously discussed at length - I actually assumed someone had rediscovered it and posted it here again. Interesting that TFM doesn’t cite the very relevant prior art.




Did you read the post?

> Why did I build this? I saw something similar online a few years ago and I couldn’t find it for sale so I decided to built it myself.

It is lazy that he should have done some searching make a more concrete cite than just mention that he remembers seeing it. But at least he mentions he was influenced by prior art.


Not lazy... I googled for quite a bit and couldn't find the link. I wasn't claiming it as original. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Sorry, I didn't mean any offense by the comment. If anything, I think even if the link was findable not finding it but saying you saw it somewhere is fine. In this case, ya, not being able to find the link is a good enough excuse to just mentioning that you saw it elsewhere.


Shame on the people that make interesting hobby projects without citing everybody that ever influenced them.


Here’s another one from 4 months ago with lots of discussion.
