I hate newsletters, I love kill-the-newsletter.com
In which I rage about email being the worse place for long form content, or any content, and how a simple website has changed forever my relationship with newsletters.
Ok, I lied: I love newsletters, I think they’re great, I can’t get enough of them, but I absolutely hate:
- giving away my email
- reading anything in an email client
- multipurpose tools (do one thing, do it well, and nothing else)
Enter a tool that solves all problems: kill-the-newsletter.com
Their tag line says it all:
Convert email newsletters into Atom feeds
How awesome is that? Do you want to read a newsletter in your RSS reader without giving away your email? kill-the-newsletter.com!
It has the added bonus to be pretty solid, reliable (I am for sure using it for years now), and completely free.
You can support the creator and the service with donations, but it does all the things you need for free and pretty well at it.
Yeah, it’s awesome, and will use it till the day I die, or the day newsletters in your email die, whatever comes first.
