Posting something we published this week for anyone here running a SaaS company or a company newsletter.
The premise: most SaaS teams ship 15 to 40 meaningful items a quarter and send their full customer list somewhere between zero and two emails explaining any of them. The changelog is complete, accurate, and visited by nobody.
The diagnostic in the post is the part worth stealing. Count the items you shipped last quarter that a customer would care about. Count the sends that told your whole list about any of them. Divide. That's your Ship-to-Tell ratio, and it's almost always a single digit. Everything under 100% is value you paid to build and then didn't distribute.
@kr1v Great question! We always recommend human editing, because replacing human ingenuity is not something we're aiming here. The main idea is to help people create without the friction.
Do you have any major discount for newbie like myself?
@nolan_vu Yes, we have created a new package, "The Hobbyist", which is $19.50/mo if you purchase it until June 30. Afterwards, the price will be $39.90/mo

Been watching Cagri and the team build this and it's exciting to finally see it live. The detail that sold me: they used HeyNews to ship 550+ of their own issues before opening it up. That's the kind of dogfooding that shows up in the product. Rooting for you all today!
@ilker_simsir Thanks a lot!
HeyNews
@ilker_simsir, thanks for showing up today! You've heard the dogfooding story so many times you could probably tell it yourself by now. Appreciate you flagging the part that actually matters in public.
The "in my voice" v. "more human" piece of the prompt is so key. Especially as we see more and more second and third human AI layers like Sinceerly and others start to pop up. Now it just needs the originality that the author brings to the table to be fully autonomous
@joe_setpoint indeed! This was our starting point as well. The exact question was: Should we create more "artificial" stuff when we can create unique content in the relevant author's tone&style? The answer was a resounding no, and here we are. 😌
Concentrating a full day labor into about 5 minutes while keeping the operator's voice intact for that price is something! Reach out to mete '' at '' heybe . ai for partnership opportunities with a great product like HeyNews!
