[Protospace](https://protospace.ca) is Calgary's original makerspace, a place where people go to make things and work on projects. It's a two-bay industrial shop with a full wood working area, metal working area, electronics lab, two laser cutters, five 3D printers, and sewing room. Members pay $55/month for 24/7 access to the facility and everyone is equal: Protospace has no owners and decisions are made by the membership.

It's by far my favourite project and has paid the most dividends for the amount of time I invested in programming it. I use it multiple times per day and it's become the main source of all my news. Since all the articles and comments are preloaded and saved in Local Storage, it's also great for reading on airplanes.
