Translating that reader is surprisingly useful even for established
conlangs. It's great practice for becoming more fluent, and it helps
spot grammar holes (as any translation exercise does). My growing
corpus is under the "Readers" section of this page:

It's amazing how fast the translation goes, isn't it?

Viewing the page as a reader, I agree with Mark. Viewing it as the
sole collection of all your notes on your new conlang. it's also very
understandable. :)
