I hate newsletters. They break my workflow, and I don't want to redesign my workflow for the handful of bloggers who insist on making a newsletter instead of a feed.
I'm just not using my email in the same way I use news or blogs. I made a couple of tentatives to build a mail to rss system and stopped both times because I lacked the motivation, then suggested it to feedly while I was using them and they added it to the product... While I was moving to self-hosted miniflux.

- charles_f 4y agoThanks!
- DevX101 4y agoI setup filters in gmail to archive my newsletters, add the label 'Newsletters', and forward them to my RSS reader app (in this case Readwise (paid), which has a personalized email that accepts inbound traffic). Any new newsletters I sign up with myname+news@gmail.com. That suffix means it still arrives at my email address, but I can use that recipient to create filters. I never see these emails unless I click on the 'Newsletters' label. This keeps my inbox clean.
- charles_f 4y agoThat's fine, but apart from HN I read all my stuff from miniflux. That's where I tag and organize stuff, and also send to Walabag whatever I want to keep long term. Email is something in addition to that
