It's interesting how similar San Francisco's problems were in the 19th century as now β residents so busy making money that they ignore politics, leaving politicians free to feed at the public trough and ignore public safety. https://t.co/44kwsnq7cU

I had a chance to productionize ReadToMe while shutting down my previous company, and I'm launching the publicly-available version today. Give it a try if it sounds useful to you, and please let me know if you have any feedback.
