To the OP/author: the homepage is devoid of details that would be useful. Could you please include details on how it works so that people can know without signing up?
Questions:
0. Which email address should users add to their address book or allow list so that the chances of the emails going to spam are reduced?
1. What time of the day does it send the emails? From other comments it seems like the user can choose, but does it account for time zones that the user would understand easily?
2. Within the email, is the entire chapter embedded in plain text or is it HTML formatted or both (left to the email client to pick)?
3. For works that are originally not in English (like The Count of Monte Cristo), which translation by whom and when is included on your site? Why was that choice made?
4. What is the source of the public domain books on this site?
5. Do you need any financial support (such as donations) or are looking to create paid subscriptions (though the books are public domain, there is a cost to operating this platform)?
- azum61 5y agoThanks for the feedback, will see about incorporating some of this.
- Tarsul 5y agoI really like your idea and hope you expand on it. E.g. let the user choose the intervalls or offer pages instead of chapters (chapter length might be very different depending on the book?). Also, international languages or at least the original language also.
- azum61 5y agoAnd if you are curious, the answers are below! 0. Emails come from mailer@dailyread.xyz 1. Time zone is determined by the user's browser. 2. Chapter emails are in HTML. 3. Translations are what was available from https://www.gutenberg.org/ https://www.gutenberg.org/ 4. All from from https://www.gutenberg.org/ https://www.gutenberg.org/ 5. Hmm, had not really thought too much into this yet. Should be set up to run at a minimal cost, but might add a donation link or something like that if people are interested in making small donations.
