Weightless – a minimalist newsletter tool for static sites
Collecting emails sounds easy but if you have a static site, you need to use some sort of an external service for this. Maybe I am too picky but I didn't like the available options so I built one myself. Here's how it works: - You create a mailing list on the landing page (weightless.so) - It gives you a URL you can attach to a tag as an action attribute - Any time someone submits that form, you receive an email with your subscribers Collecting emails this way is free, and if you already have a styled form, you can have this up & running in couple minutes. I know Show HN posts shouldn't…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Collecting emails sounds easy but if you have a static site, you need to use some sort of an external service for this. Maybe I am too picky but I didn't like the available options so I built one myself. Here's how it works: - You create a mailing list on the landing page (weightless.so) - It gives you a URL you can attach to a <form> tag as an action attribute - Any time someone submits that form, you receive an email with your subscribers Collecting emails this way is free, and if you already have a styled form, you can have this up & running in couple minutes. I know Show HN posts shouldn't require signing up, but I do need to have an email because that's where you get your subscribers list. One note: Weightless also allows you send mass emails to your subscribers, but that's a paid feature. You DON'T have to use it, you can use Weightless only for collecting emails, and worry about messaging them later. When you are starting out and have only a couple subscribers, you can simply email everyone manually, one by one.

- IBI built a tool to send you daily digest of your saved bookmarks2020 · ▲65
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…
- YNYou Need Feeds – Introduce friends/family/workmates to RSS and webfeeds2018 · ▲205
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…
- SGShortwhale – Get fewer, shorter, and better emails2014 · ▲40
Dan Ariely and I are looking for ways to help people with high email load. One idea was Shortwhale, which we've tested for a few months now. The idea is super simple: It's a place to tell people how you prefer email and it offers a simple contact form that adds the necessary structure to email. Although technically trivial, it works extremely well for Dan. We have ideas on how to expand this but first we'd like to know if someone else might find this useful too (we know that this is only a solution for people who get tons of (unsolicited) email). Underlying to all of this is the idea to put…

Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results. For comments/suggestions/feedback please visit…
