ABOUT

A media format built as a tool.

Paste a podcast, essay, interview, video, or article URL. Yank extracts the five lines worth keeping and turns them into cards designed to travel.

Not the most informative lines.

The most quotable.

The most socially survivable.

Every yank gets a permanent URL. Every card is individually shareable. The artifact is the product.

We are not a summarizer. Summaries are for people avoiding the source. Yank is for people who already consumed it and need to point at the part that stayed with them.

Some things don't yank well. We refuse weak pulls. The five lines are an editorial decision, not a quota.
