I prefer it the other way around: https://kill-the-newsletter.com/
If anyone wants to give it a try, please give me your feedback!
I built something similar: https://newsletterify.com but is also not really finished. There's a copy cat of my product of which I'm not sharing the link, but I love that there is some competition out there. I love reading newsletters and aggregated information when I have the time, but emails aren't really the medium imho
So sorry that you're experiencing slowness. I haven't done any performance test on it as for the past few months its mostly been used by just friends and family.
I hope it is faster now.
Tbh, I'm not sure what else to build on top of it as when I built it, I just wanted a safe and private place to be able to curate newsletters without exposing my main email address and allow friends to view my subscriptions.
What do you think feels needs to be touched up? Is it the UI?
for me it definitely is the UI! you could think about adding a UI kit on top of it for a more polished look? and the biggest downturn for me personally is the google login. I wish you good luck with the project mate!
Please be very clear about your USPs and your target audience.
I really don't get the sentiment on HN that everything should be free, sorry.
That’s not what your parent comment is arguing. The point is that it’s hard to sustain a business against competitors which offer the same thing for free, and the higher your price point the harder it is.
Maybe you aren’t offering the same thing or your service is so much better that it is worth the price, but that’s a different argument.
> And how can they stay free (…), how long do you think they'll stick around and get new features all the time?
I use one of this other services. It is open-source and I don’t know what their costs are, but it’s been working for me for years. I have zero need for more features from them, I’m happy with the simplicity. That I know of they don’t have LLM costs because they don’t use LLMs, and to me that is a plus. If your service is using LLMs, that honestly makes me less interested in it.
I use it all the time on feedbin
