Products that do what Digest – Create a personal newsletter with the content you consume does
As a personal need I have been working on building this over the last year. Like others, I often found myself in the middle of work, but taking breaks to read Reddit, HN, watch YouTube videos, etc. Those short breaks often turned into doom scrolling, and before I knew it I had wasted hours throughout my day/week. I felt that if I just had the content that I was already consuming bundled up and delivered to me in a daily newsletter, I'd no longer have the need to keep checking these sites throughout the day. This eventually evolved into adding sources that I was not wasting time on but…

Bookmarks which you wanted to read, but simply forgot... It happened to me all the time. I bookmarked the articles to read later and simply forgot about them. Forever. I built Mailist to help with that. Already 2350 users enjoy their "weekly digests" composed from their bookmarks. It makes me super happy! So now, https://mailist.app Pro account allows you to send an email newsletter every day, built from your bookmarks. Does it sound interesting? The free version (weekly email) is available for everyone! Let me know what you think. PS. Unlike other tools, we care about your privacy…

Partially inspired by recent discussions on HN and other places. I've made a single-focus site to introduce your friends/colleagues/neighbours/family to RSS and web feeds. https://www.youneedfeeds.com/ The site is meant to give the elevator pitch for feeds, show a newbie what feeds are and how to use them, set them up with a reader, and give them some nice starter content if they want it. So much tastemaking and newsmaking power is concentrated in the hands of Facebook/Reddit/Twitter, but I'm convinced it's because much of the general populace doesn't…

I started a newsletter sending out daily startup ideas. After a year, I transitioned to weekly ideas with more in-depth details. I recently posted all of them to the website and made them searchable. Check it out and let me know what you think. By providing more than just an idea, my hope is to help someone start their next business. https://www.startupsfromthebottom.com/

Inspired by my ability to collect articles from HN that I wanted to read, but never getting around to reading them, I built Newslater. You add the articles you want to read to your reading list, and Newslater will email you a newsletter containing summaries of 5 of your articles sent at a time you choose. My aim was to create a tl;dr newsletter from articles you are actually interested in. The app is free, has no ads, and is available on Android and iOS: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.readlater.readlater…

Hey HN I made an newsletter where I dump all my really good business ideas onto that I don't have the time to go do.

I struggle with wanting to read heaps of stuff I come across on the internet daily, as well as being subscribed to a bunch of tech-related newsletters that I never get around to reading. I made this to get through that content much faster while working or otherwise multitasking. Check it out and please lmk your thoughts! Also, curious if others also feel this pain of too much interesting content to get through daily. FWIW I probably listen to this for >1 hour daily atm.
