05 questions
Good questions.
Is it really free?
Yes! No account, no card, no trial. There’s a daily limit to keep hosting costs down, but every feature is available, and that limit goes away for Supporters.
portaltext reads the page you’re on, and the page on the other side of the link you’re about to click on. It gives you a summary of the latter, contextualized by the former, so no information is invented or hallucinated. Think of it like a gel connecting the web together.
Is my reading private?
We send only the URL and a small page excerpt. No tracking, no hover history, no ads.
