There are three ways to take a read out of Coldbluff. On Pro you can download it as a markdown document. On any plan you can print it to PDF from your browser, or share it with a link. None of the three draws on your window.
Fig. 1 · The document
At the end of a read, once every section on your plan has run, a button reads "The read as a document". It opens the document in a new tab and leaves a download link beside the button, named after your idea, in case your browser blocks the tab. The document is plain markdown, so it opens in any text editor and in most note apps. Export shows what's in it, section by section, with an excerpt from the sample read.
Until the read is whole, the same place says how many of its parts are done and what brings the rest. On Free the button offers Pro, and when a window is full it says when the window resets. You can take the document out as often as you like, and each time it holds the latest version of every section.
Fig. 2 · A PDF
There's no PDF button. Print the read from your browser and choose to save it as a PDF. The bar with the three page titles stays off the paper. Every line keeps its source numbers or its label in words, so the PDF says where each line came from even printed in black and white. Print each of the three pages you want, because the read shows one page at a time.
Fig. 3 · A link anyone can open
Under its header, every read offers a link to share, on every plan, once you've signed in. The link opens a read-only copy that anyone can read without an account. The copy shows the sections that have finished and their sources, and it leaves out your account and what each part cost. You can stop sharing at any time, and the old link stops working. Your account and data covers who else can see your reads.
Someone who opens your link can say how they'd build it differently, and that starts a read of their own, in their account. Your read stays as it is.
Fig. 4 · Using what you take out
The sections are yours to keep, copy and share. The quotes inside them belong to the people who wrote them, and every quote carries its author, place and date so you can credit it. When you pass a read on, pass the sources with it, so whoever reads it can check each line.
