If you are looking for a free alternative to this I created the exact same thing at http://redditdelivery.com with a slightly nicer email format.

Simple and effective offering. I like the simple signup. Perfect !

Thank you. Signed up!

I've been using a homemade one for the last half year and just released it after seeing this :) http://blanket.io

Notable difference is that it accepts any rss feed, and also tries to summarize articles.

I think the page layout is very good. I felt nicely oriented and I quickly understood what your product does.

Pricing on subscriptions seems like the wrong approach. If someone wants to sign up, you're making them do a math problem. They'll have to leave your page to check reddit to see how many subscriptions they have exactly. Sending people to reddit is probably a bad step to have in any purchase funnel.

I think it does solve a problem. In my experience, reddit does a mediocre job at sampling Front Page stories from my subscriptions.

The $0.99 per 5 subscriptions pricing is meh, though. I think a free 5 subscriptions plan with an unlimited plan for $XX/year would sit better.

Good luck with this!

I'm usually the first to defend developers who want to charge for their apps, but in this case it seems quite ridiculous

Haha yeah I had the same exact reaction but if he/she can people to pay then good for them. They've found a pain point someone's willing to pay for :-)
