Looking for a technical co-founder
For my friend Martin and I, newsletters became the go-to source for learning from domain experts like Packy McCormick who writes Not Boring, Lenny Rachitsky, or Stratechery’s Ben Thompson.
But we think there should be a better reading and learning experience that also helps with the newsletter fatigue so in September 2020 we started working on a newsletter reader as a side project.
We spent the past few months validating the idea, spoke with potential users to better understand the problem, and iterated on a clickable prototype in Figma.
A few weeks ago we joined a weekend hackathon and shipped the first MVP of our web app that we both started using.
At the same time, our waitlist grew to over 100 potential users and we started sharing our progress with those people with our own Substack.

Our current stack:
- Next.js (frontend framework)
- Vercel (frontend web hosting)
- Firebase (auth + database)
Right now, we’re looking for someone to join the two of us to help us take it to the next level so if this resonates with you, comment here or email us at hello@returnofthenewsletter.com
I'd be interested in helping with the dev side of things! I've got lots of past experience with that same stack and it'd be fun for me to apply those skills on a new project.
