Nice. I'd been looking for some way to consolidate information gathering into one app (email), and tried feedmyinbox at one point (ended up giving up on it because, at the time, it could not do digests).
With regard to the UI, I'd appreciate a cue telling me when to expect the next digest. I see that it's on a 24-hour cycle, but is that on the stroke of midnight? Midnight in which time zone? Is that 24 hours since the last time I added a feed?
- tymekpavel 17y agoThanks for the suggestion! I'll add a timing option so users can choose whether they want digests to arrive at 8am, 1pm, etc...
- gcv 17y agoI signed up for the service, and noticed a couple of things. First, even though I chose 24-hour notification, I seem to have been getting emails every hour. Feature or bug? :) Second, it seems that the NYT feed reposts its full content in each email, even though articles repeat. I didn't check to see if the feed is different in its entirety, but I think that each mail sent out should only include previously unsent articles (you may have to filter by subscriber by permalink or possibly by subscriber by message hash to catch changed messages).
- tymekpavel 17y agoInteresting, I'll look into it-- we haven't experienced that problem yet. As for the NYT feed, thanks for the suggestion. I'm on it!
