Maria runs a bakery in Portland. Last Tuesday, between the morning rush and afternoon prep, she opened Readdy.ai, typed two sentences about her shop, and had a website live before her espresso went cold.

Online ordering. Hours. Photos of the croissants. A booking form for custom cakes. Indexed on Google by Wednesday.

She didn't call a developer. She didn't buy a template. She didn't watch a YouTube tutorial.

Readdy.ai is built for owners like Maria — people who'd rather spend 45 minutes making bread than 45 hours making a website. Describe your business, get a polished site in under 2 minutes, and update it later by just talking to the AI.

Hello!

Welcome to a new edition of “On the Net Today”, the newsletter where every Friday we share a selection of useful and interesting resources to help you get the most out of the internet and make the best use of your browsing time.

Here are the topics we’ve prepared for today:

Consulting firm McKinsey has just published its annual interactive special, recommending nearly a hundred books for 2026.

The authors of the special say that "while AI can summarize a book for you, the sustained act of reading and becoming immersed in the author’s ideas is how we reinforce the skills and traits that make us uniquely human: empathy, critical thinking, and creativity. It also helps us understand not only where we are but also how we got there—and where we might be headed.”

The list is curated by Mike Borruso, director of audience development and innovation for McKinsey Global Publishing.

The selection, which includes 96 titles, spans genres ranging from business and AI to history, politics, memoir, and fiction. The list was put together with contributions from more than 50 contributors across different fields: academia, business, McKinsey partners, media, the public sector, and the social sector.

How can we save links that interest us while browsing the internet? Traditional browser bookmarks are one solution, but they can quickly fall short.

One option, which offers a free version that's more than enough for many users, is Raindrop.io, an advanced, cross-platform bookmark manager that lets you save articles, videos, PDFs, and web pages.

The service is available through browser extensions, mobile apps, and desktop applications, and lets you sync all your information across devices.

Beyond just saving them, Raindrop.io lets you organize all these resources into collections and tags and access them from any device. This service turns a scattered collection of links into a personal library that's organized, searchable, and shareable.

National Geographic recently published a stunning multimedia and interactive feature on its English-language site about the completion of the Sagrada Família's construction.

The piece explains, in a highly visual way, how Gaudí conceived the Sagrada Família, paying special attention to elements such as its structural and lighting innovations, among other aspects.

The feature explains how, with the completion of the Tower of Jesus, the Sagrada Família has become the tallest church in the world.
