Hi everyone! Thanks to @bramk for hunting us, and to dozens of friends in the community who gave us feedback during our beta iterations and helped up build Kite.
We receive dozens of awesome newsletters every week in our inbox, but we always found it hard to keep up with all of them.
Newsletters would accumulate and we ended up either archiving a lot of issues that we really wanted to read, again and again, or “scheduling them to a later date”. That’s why we decided to build Kite.
The newsletters you choose (we have a collection of 100+ hand picked publishers - and we’re adding 20/30 new ones every week) won’t show up in your inbox anymore. You’ll be notified and read about them in the Kite app.
(We just store them in a folder. They are still being delivered to you!)
Some details:
1. For now we only have Gmail signup (their API makes stuff like this *extremely* easy). Outlook and Facebook will be there on 2.0 -- in about a couple weeks.
2. We can't read anyone's email messages at all -- that's very important for us. All we can do is create and edit labels (so emails from those newsletters will go to a “Kite” folder in your inbox).
Would love to hear your thoughts!
