Thanks for the feedback. What do you think would make it more useful for you? Would a one-line description help? I was hoping the topics would give you a general idea, and then you could click the "subscribe" link to learn more about the newsletter and subscribe if you were interested. The list is randomly ordered right now with an ordering that changes daily. What kind of ordering would be helpful? I don't currently have enough information on each newsletter to know its popularity or number of subscribers. I may add upvoting/favoriting to help with that. I considered infinite scroll, but pagination works better for SEO purposes and was easier to implement with the tech stack I'm using. Might re-visit this in the future.

A one- or two-line description would be enough. Think of the old "Who What Where When Why How" journalism questions, eh? (You could ask the bloggers for a burb, or permission to quote their own self-description.) The typical default order would be by alphabetically by title. If you don't want to add sorting yet that's what I would expect. Other sorts would be name of author, frequency, most recent post, main theme (if applicable.) > "pagination works better for SEO purposes" I'm sure it does, but as a user I don't care. Whom do you serve? If your site ranks higher than some other site with a superior UI isn't that overall a failure of the system? The best option would be to provide both options: paginate by default and have a switch to toggle it to all-on-one-page, eh? I think you did a good job in general, it just needs a little polish to relly "pop". Cheers!
