Great way of thinking and building the product in a very lean fashion !
My biggest issue would be : why would people pay to subscribe to a newsletter ? Do you have specific use cases ? (I guess that letter.ly closed for a reason?)
I'm sure that spending a week to build it and see if people would use it is one of the best ways to answer that question though. I'm just wondering what you, as a developer, think.
- AndyParkinson 13y agoI think I answered that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6600121 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6600121 There are people out there who love the bloggers/writers they follow and will support them. A newsletter is a great way to trade exclusive access for money. The kind of newsletters that publishers will use HappyLetter for aren't the marketingy kind you're used to. These publishers probably won't have a different product to sell where a newsletter is part of a lead scoring or funnel process. To them, the newsletter is the product.
