Objective

Paul Graham is an influential programmer, entrepreneur, and writer. He co-founded ViaWeb, Y Combinator, and Hacker News.

I love reading his essays, which he releases monthly on his website, but I wanted a way to read the most recent essays on my eReader on the go. This project was my solution to this problem!
