Kogram - Newsletter Publishing Platform
Hey IH,
Been pushing and pulling about the idea to create a better newsletter publishing platform. Been using Substack, but there are so many problems with it that I don't even know where to begin.
I'm getting ready for my launch, but wanted to get some feedback on my landing page. Any feedback would be great!

You'll like the next Trends report 😉
Observation
Substack is starting to leverage network effects. Your email auto-populates for new publications when you subscribe to one Substack publication.
Seems minor but friction is powerful.
Thanks @dru_riley for signing up! Always feels awesome to see that number increase.
Yes! Been waiting for the next Trends report every day hah. From what you've told me, it'll be exactly what I've been looking into :)
That's pretty awesome of Substack. The biggest thing I want to provide users is the ability to control every aspect of their newsletter. As well as the analytics. I'm wanting to build the tools to help people actually run their full newsletter/content business on Kogram.
So funny.
I talked to 3 people today who use Substack.
No one could tell me their visitor-to-subscriber rate.
NVM. Checked my account for Product Examples. Yes on both of these.
I'm liking Google Analytics, but will build more personalized analytics into the platform.
Hey @yaroslawbagriy content make sense and the design is neat!
When would be the actual launch?
Keen to know if it's good for a regular newsletter of startup investment news?
Thanks @felix12777! We're currently working on the most critical features for launch. We're hoping in about 1-2 months.
Yes Kogram is built exactly for a newsletter like Startup Investment News! Paid or unpaid, doesn't matter :)
Awesome stuff! Excited to try the product. Keep us posted on IH!
Thanks! Get on the early access list to get the latest updates :)
hey @yaroslawbagriy. love the idea and Substack definitely needs some competition so best of luck!
I'm not sure if the landing is supposed to be a quick MVP but consider adding some brand character and design overall to increase people's trust.
Thanks @OStirbu 😊 yes great idea! Still looking for a logo, and copywriter still needs some work. Trust is key to get email signups!
On mobile (Android, Chrome, Portrait) the header logo is off centered to the right. I don't think that was intended.
Yeah the code assumes there is a logo to the left of the company name. Still in the processes of finding/outsourcing a simple logo. Any thoughts?
