Inspired by a tweet and my own "newsletters fatigue", I decided to build an app to organize and manage all the newsletter subscriptions.

January 15, 2022 Shut down

Eventually, I realized that I wasn't using it as much as I anticipated, which itself isn't a great sign. Reused a lot of the learnings and some code in other projects like ListLinks.
Overall it was a great learning experience being the second Flaks app I've built.

December 26, 2020 Finished MVP

As MVP I wanted to keep it super simple.

How does it work:
When you sign up, Newsrack generates an email address you can use to subscribe to any newsletter you'd like to add to your newsrack. When the app receives any emails it sorts them by the sender.

December 20, 2020 Came up with the idea

The other day I saw the following tweet by Justin Jackson:

" A podcast player is the perfect “inbox” for your podcasts.
There’s nothing else here except for my “episodes to listen to next.”
E-mail symbol Still not convinced that my email inbox is the perfect place for all these newsletters.
Thinking face Time to go back to an RSS reader?"

Inspired by this post and by sharing the same "newsletter fatigue", I decided to build just that: Newsrack, a place to keep all my newsletters organize the way podcast apps do for podcasts.
