Maker 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.

How do you plan to differentiate yourself against competitors like Paved? They already have a searchable database of newsletetters with open rates, CTR, etc.

My company makes a product for developers (https://buttercms.com) and we've had mixed results with newsletter sponsorships. There doesn't seem to be a predictable correlation between the newsletter size and the amount of clickthroughs or signups we get from them. Will your database help with this?

This is not a Show HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html "Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with" "Blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they can't be Show HNs."

Yeah, in this case I think we have to agree with you. An email list isn't really "something you've made that other people can play with".
