#3Maker here. Side note: Took all the feedback from HN on my previous demo. Still working hard on a searchable database with a ton of curated newsletters. My goal is to make it easier for fellow creators to share their startup & side projects with thousands of potential customers. And to have newsletter owners monetise their emails. Creating a win-win situation for both sides.

Promoting newsletter sponsorships as a vehicle for side project growth is a great idea. I think using an email newsletter itself is not the right format but looking forward to a searchable database.

The searchable database is the real product, but to protect myself from procrastinating on this I forced myself to launch quickly. Hence the v0.5 solution.

How will you validate active subscriber numbers so new buyers can ascertain the value of a particular newsletter?

Getting data (Open rate, CTR etc.) from a recent email campaign, should already give a good indication of the level of engagement each newsletter has.

Yes, I agree with that; MVPs and fast iteration!

#10Good idea... I signed up and I'm looking forward to seeing how it works.
I'm working on a tool for developers (secrets management -- https://www.envkey.com), that is currently available for two languages, Ruby and Node.js. How likely is it that I'll be able to find newsletters that cater to my niche through your service?
On that note, it would be nice if I could specify some parameters when I sign up to be sure the newsletters I'm getting notified about are relevant.
Good luck!
