A home for newsletters
Hey Friends,
I would like to create an app that serves as a place for all my newsletters, almost like pocket but for NL content.
I find that I subscribe to many different Newsletters, and wish they were all homed in one place, analyzed and presented beautifully. I'd expect it to feel like a news app but with helpful content curated by brilliant people.
At the very early stages of the journey, I would love someone technical to come along with me (Journey == Light design, landing page, early signups for validation, THEN build something.)
I'm slightly technical but would need someone technical to make a good go of it!
Thanks! :)

First of all, inboxsoup (https://gum.co/pl-inboxsoup) - grab the domain! Secondly, I really love this idea and have found myself tossing similar concepts around recently. Would love to chat further!
I’ve connected:)
Some questions that might help to understand your concept some more for users to assess if they could help out:
Hey!
These are great questions. Both are an option.
Gmail has done the hard work of categorizing stuff as "newsletter" if people sign-in with google, then (assuming we have access to that data) - then this data can be pulled out and presented back in an interface that treats newsletters as a first-class citizen.
Having a specific email address for users, is also a good option, synonumous with the send to kindle function.
Both are viable but need further investigation.
There exists a really sleek app for this, don't remember the name, but will post once I find it.
Not saying you shouldn't go for it, just that there is a competitor you should develop a USP against :)
I’d love to see them, I want to use it. Anything I can do to help you remember ha? :D
There it is https://stoopinbox.com/
Fantastic! Thanks so much!
That is indeed a nice idea!
Thanks a lot! Wanna help? :)
Unfortunately I'll have to stay a lurker here even though it sounds really interesting :( Have one full-time and one part-time projects that occupy all my free time, and committing to yet another one would mean doing sloppy work on all three.
Lolz! No probs. Always nicer with others I think :)
Found one more service: https://slickinbox.com/
Interesting idea. So it would gather your newsletters from your inbox and present them in a different web interface? I like the idea because I generally don't subscribe to newsletters as a rule. I really hate anything in my inbox that does not come from a human and have virtually zero marketing emails because of that.
That said, there are some bits of content that I can't get any other way besides a newsletter. Bloomberg has some very interesting content available in email newsletters that I should I get access through web interface on demand, rather than have it pushed to my inbox.
It sounds very interesting and I'd definitely try it out. I have my hands full with my own projects at the moment, but I'll eagerly await your progress here.
Thanks a lot
