I'm part of the re:Charged community before it was cool and tbh it has been always cool.

The content itself is great, it bleeds @ow's personality which is great! I've been a a fan of the podcast for a while and to get that in a daily basis is fantastic.

Saves me a LOT OF TIME and protects me from autoplaying videos.

Pros:

Great and insightful content - No bs and straight to the point.

Cons:

It cover the highlights of the day, so if some shit goes down during the day you'll only get a digest the next day, I want moar.

I've been a subscriber since the beginning and out of all the newsletter I receive, including the many I accidentally subscribe to, this is one of the only ones I look forward to and mention to friends and colleagues. It keeps you up to date, without having to filter through all the tech news sites there are nowadays.

Pros:

Great content and the only newsletter I actively read and look forward to. Rarely mentions something I'm already aware of.

Cons:

None so far

@nico_lrx this is something I'm actively working on. I love the idea but I'm halfway there with an integration. Sell me on it? ;)

Also, we provide detailed analytics for your newsletters: open-rate, click-rate and the detail for each subscriber. We created an interface so that sending your newsletter is quick and easy to do.

Cons:

None so far

I've been using re:Charged since day 1 of the earliest alpha. It's changed the way I approach news - I have learnt to rely on Owen's daily emails to keep myself updated on the tech world. Even if I'm already aware of a news story, what's great is that the daily email is still worth reading.

The community is young but ties the whole thing together. In the time that it's been around, I've already found my own views challenged. It's a lovely, slow-web way to remove yourself slightly from whatever bubble you find yourself in.

It's worth paying for. Stop wasting time trying to play catch up. Rely on re:Charged.

Pros:

You can forget about trying to chase the news and know that the most important stuff will be in your inbox in the morning.

Cons:

Not sure there's anything as yet.
