#2Nice, adding your own comments AND tags is helpful to know whether to open the article or not.
Suggestions:
* Clickable tags to see all articles that qualify for that tag (or a general search feature like https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/)
* Option to subscribe once a week/month instead of 4 times a week.

Thanks for the advice! I'll look into adding both of those features.

Not to dissuade you from your effort but I wanted to offer why I won't subscribe: Because I don't know who you are, I would also need to see the articles you reject and your reasons why. (E.g. I spent 20 minutes reading "Why Machine Learning Won't Cure Cancer" and you can avoid wasting time and skip it. My criteria for rejection are...)
I explained this reasoning in a previous comment about a similar service: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22545396

That's actually a great idea! And I have the perfect article for it too.

#6This reminds me of https://www.osnews.com , a combination of a tech news site and a personal blog (all submissions come from Thom Holwerda).
Are you planning on supporting comments? OSnews does quite well with a small but active community.

#8As a fellow newsletter maintainer (https://weeklyrobotics.com/) I can only imagine how much efforts it takes to put something out 4 times a week.

Currently, not really. I plan to very soon though. Mostly for scouring the web for new sources. I wouldn't say I've hyper optimized my time enough to give any good tips. I used to work for Pek (https://morningcupofcoding.com/) and I'm sure he can offer much better advice than me.
