Hello dear fellow newsletters fans! When I was on vacation this year, I finally found the time to go through all my unread newsletters and I started wondering: why isn't there a better experience around reading & managing newsletters? Why is all this great content cramped into your email client? – So my friend @matas and I joined forces to build a more tailored experience around newsletters. We’d be really happy to get your feedback and learn what your favourite newsletters are to feature them in the app as well! Matas & Jakob

@jakobfricke I can also add that Inspiratio is a project driven by our own perception on how the news reading should be, inspiring, tuned precisely to the topics and authors that are interesting for the reader. It's quite simple - you control your feed, not the algorithms. Already with the first beta versions, we've switched own reading habits to Inspiratio, quite naturally. Try it for yourself 😄

I love how this app keeps distractions at bay — I can choose when to check out my newsletters, rather than being bombarded in my main mailbox. Great idea and execution 👍

@jakobfricke now that I think of it, a way to sort issues by time could be cool — so not just by newsletter subscription. That way if I open the app after a month or so, I can quickly check out the latest issues. On the other hand, that could add unnecessary complexity. I’ll keep thinking about it 🙂

@jakubowskiandy noted! We'll think about it and see if there's a way to add it without increasing the complexity!

I just downloaded this and I'm LOVING it. I was about to create a new email address (such as newsletters@mydomain.com) to control my newsletters, but this is a way better way, and visual pleasing which is a huge huge huge plus in my book ;) Do you have plans to extend this to have a web app as well? So users can check their inspiratio inbox on their web browser?

Love the product - brings great structure into the mailbox messiness of receiving newsletters that outlive their usefulness within hours due to not being able to find them anymore - love it!

Useful tool, simple idea, should have been invented years ago

Pros:

Brings structure into newsletters, filters interesting newsletters

Cons:

None

Used it so much that I had to cull it as a part of my "distraction-free phone" push. Otherwise, way better experience of reading, discovering and management newsletters.
