Full weekly, topic paths, every episode

Free readers see the weekly cover wall, the first stage of each topic and the latest two episodes.

  • The weekly threads every explainer by theme and marks what you read
  • Topics take you from basics to practice in order, and remember where you are
  • Every episode, plus a private podcast feed

On the site, inside articles, inside your AI

One shared allowance, 30 a day. Answers come only from published explainers, each linked back to the passage.

  • Ask across the site in one question
  • Select a sentence while reading: explain, example, when it holds; answers cite the paragraph and preview it
  • Compare two or three products in a table
Push · only what you follow (coming soon)

Pick topics, then how often and in what shape

42 topics to follow. Pushes are coming soon — vote more / less on each one and it gets sharper.

  • Coming soon — per topic: as soon as it is out, one email each evening, or only in your weekly brief
  • Title only, with summary, or with the one-pager image
  • A private feed any assistant can pull
  • A weekly brief (coming soon) that brings back a few lines you highlighted
Keep · your reading library

05 · FAQ
Articles are free — why pay?

Reading stays free. Membership saves time: the full weekly, topics and podcast, pushes on what you follow (coming soon), and answers from XiaoHu.

Weren't podcasts, weekly and topics free?

They were. Every explainer is now free; the curated layer is for members. Free readers still get the weekly cover wall, each topic's first stage and the latest two episodes.

No ChatGPT or Claude?

My XiaoHu on the site does the same, phone included.

Are answers reliable?

Only from published explainers, each cited to the passage. If we haven't covered it, it says so.
