I built a site to find the best newsletters
Hey HN, sharing something I've been working on. I love reading new voices. I subscribe to a lot of brilliant newsletters but found it hard to keep track of all the great stuff I was reading. I'd read something, love it, never be able to find it again. And then, how do you find new ones worth trying? And which posts do you start with? With Inbox World, you can submit and upvote the best of Substack and other similar platforms. The goal is to build a community around the best independent writing out there. It's like HN for newsletters! This is a passion project for me and I'm not technical at…
In plain words
Inbox World is a community platform for discovering and sharing the best newsletters from Substack and similar platforms. Users can submit newsletters and posts, upvote their favorites, and browse what the community recommends. The site functions as a central directory for independent writing, helping readers find new voices and rediscover content they've enjoyed. It includes a weekly email digest of the most popular recommendations and requires no login or account creation.

In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey HN, sharing something I've been working on. I love reading new voices. I subscribe to a lot of brilliant newsletters but found it hard to keep track of all the great stuff I was reading. I'd read something, love it, never be able to find it again. And then, how do you find new ones worth trying? And which posts do you start with? With Inbox World, you can submit and upvote the best of Substack and other similar platforms. The goal is to build a community around the best independent writing out there. It's like HN for newsletters! This is a passion project for me and I'm not technical at all. This is its earliest v1 form, open to everyone; no logins or data collected, no ads, no premium tiers, everything on one page. And I just added an automated email that sends you the most upvoted links weekly — a newsletter for newsletters. Would love to hear what you think in the comments below. Thanks for reading. PS: If you want to chat about this idea or are interested in working together, I’d love to talk. Ping me here or send me an email at [email protected]

- ABA better way to read blogs2023 · boredreading.com · ▲103
Hey HN, maker here. It was a serious 4-6 months of effort to build this. I have never poured as much love, attention and detail into a project before. So I really appreciate you having a looksie! The homepage has a fresh list of articles every hour and is open to all. Still, I recommend signing up so you can add stuff to your reading list and follow blogs. My initial plan was to monetize this with subtle ads, but that didn't work out as the traffic to the site isn't nearly enough for that. That said, I have a fair bit invested in this and I need your help figuring out a way to make this…
- IAI asked an HN member for feedback and she blew my mind2010 · ▲453
A few days ago, I responded to a comment by bloggergirl offering to read anyone's web copy and help. I shot off an email hoping for a paragraph or two of feedback on my startup's copy. Instead I received a professional, detailed deck of tons of invaluable well thought out feedback. It must have taken her an entire afternoon. Here's a link to it: http://www.slideshare.net/shereefb/recommendations-for-bettermeans To top it off, this isn't someone with a lot of free time on her hands, she's only days away from launching her own startup (page99test) This community blows my mind!
- ZAZsync, a Reddit Alternative with the Goal to Reward Quality Comments2023 · zsync.xyz · ▲207
I built this last year but never posted it anywhere, but now with Reddit hiatus it seems like the right time to give it a shot. The main goal of zsync is to foster high quality content and discussion. That's it. If it can't accomplish that, then to me it is a failure. I watched Reddit go from having high quality discussion in 2008-9 to devolving into the PC meme dumpster it is today [1]. HN still has the highest discussion quality of any "forum" I know of, but (1) it can sometimes randomly be very hostile/toxic to new tech, the most glaring example being crypto. (2) HN is basically a…
