Author of Kill the Newsletter! here. First, thank you ProfDreamer for finding my service and posting it here. Thanks too to everyone that took interest in Kill the Newsletter! and commented or wrote me emails. I appreciate the kind words and testimonials that the tool was useful to some of you. I also appreciate the suggestions for improvements, I’ll try to implement them in the near future.
Kill the Newsletter! ended up on an LifeHacker article: https://lifehacker.com/kill-the-newsletter-converts-newslett... As a long-time reader of the website, I’m flattered.
Finally, I want to say a word about the name of the service. The copy on the website starts with “I love newsletters …” This is true, otherwise I wouldn’t have created the tool. So don’t really mean to extinguish the newsletters. I understand RSS users are a small niche when compared to email users. I also understand the business reasons to prefer mailing lists. The comments on this thread had some very interesting arguments on that topic. I certainly learned a lot by reading them.
The name Kill the Newsletter! was supposed to be whimsical. But I understand death and specially killing are sensitive topics to some people and I apologize if I offended them with my joke.
Still, I hope everyone can enjoy Kill the Newsletter! if they ever need to convert that mailing list into an RSS feed.
