Hey everyone! I built mlist because I found a bunch of awesome newsletters that I loved, but didn't like having extra stuff in my in my inbox. I used Meng To's Design + Code book to learn iOS development and built mlist.
Here's how it works: choose a username when you sign up for mlist and use it like an email address (username@mlist.io) when subscribing to newsletters. The newsletters are delivered right to the app. No more overflowing email inboxes!
I'm open to any feedback and happy to answer any questions!

@noahtovares Been looking for something like this for a while. A very good start. I would add the following if possible
- Ability to forward existing subscriptions to mlist
- Ability to save links to pocket/instapaper
- Pull in subscriptions from Twitter - based on what my network is sharing.
Look forward to updates. This has legs.
@arjunram Thanks! Those are great suggestions. Being able to suggest subscriptions would be powerful.
From the inbox, you can swipe a message to share it. If you have Pocket, Instapaper, or an app with share extensions you should see it as an option. There's a bug right now that prevents the link from working, but it will be fixed in the next update!
@arjunram just released a quick update that fixed the share bug. You can now share and save messages to your favorite apps!

@noahtovares Good to hear. I meant parsing the content for links and being able to share individual links or a bundle rather than the entire email. Mail client like cloudmagic already allow the ability to share the entire email which isnt very useful. Hope that helps.
@arjunram oh, that's interesting. I hadn't thought about sharing that way. Makes a lot of sense though, as typically it's a link in the message, and not the message itself that I want to share.
As someone who has only newsletters unread in my inbox right now (~100 from 15+ newsletters), this would be awesome for me. I've been falling behind recently, and this would give me a good way to catch up in an organized way. It might be nice if others could star what newsletter issues they like so I know how to prioritize my inbox.
@derek_shirk wasn't sure why the link to this was mlist-2 until I saw that you hunted it a while back. mergelinks is great, just added it to the featured section.
Noah linked me to a comment that I made 9 months ago: http://www.producthunt.com/tech/... and says that he's built something similar to what I described.
I've tried it out and it seems promising. I think that it could be good if we could do one press signup to newsletters (rather than having to visit the newsletters' website to sign up), but otherwise looks good.
@_jacksmith you're totally right, and automatic signup is on the way! (at least for mailchimp newsletters).

I love this! I organise newsletters in Apple Mail atm using rules to keep them organised but unfortunately very often rules in Mail just do not work and many newsletters randomly end up in my inbox which is super annoying. Web app would be fantastic for this, it would work even better than the app for me.
Thanks for sharing.

Mlist is totally brilliant, and I've been a happy user for a while now. Thanks Noah!
@ninthart thanks :D you were one of the first signups ever. How did you originally find mlist?
Report
@noahtovares To be honest, I'm not totally sure! I think it was from seeing it listed on appshopper.com. However I found it, I jumped on as soon as I could as it really fills a need I have—too many great email newsletters with a too-full inbox :)
