Read your Medium post a while back - such a great idea and encouraging great journalism. Hope you launch in the UK soon!

Yesterday we announced that we will start a USA beta early 2016. It's fist come, first served! We're live in the Netherlands for over 1,5 years and already have 500.000 users, which is a lot for our small country. A few months ago we launched in Germany with all (100+) publishers and now we're coming to America. Super exciting times. Read more about our beta and Blendle itself on Medium - https://medium.com/zu-blendle/eu...

Micro payments are the future in this age of adblockers (listen to @cdixon and @benedictevans talk about it: https://a16z.com/2015/09/25/a16z...). Blendle is one of the most promising startups from The Netherlands (in my humble opinion ;) ), and I'm really excited to see where they can take this! Launching in the US with the help of NYTimes (one of their investors). @AlexanderNL can tell you more!

just tried it. incredibly well done and designed. now missing a mobile app

You've got my attention, and potentially a whole boat load of my quarters.

dope!

Hi guys, really exited to announce today that we're live in the United States (and around the world) with some of the biggest publishers in the country on board. We have a waiting list, but signing up via Product Hunt gives you instant access https://launch.blendle.com/produ... You can read more about us on Medium https://medium.com/on-blendle/wi...

This is amazing. No question that longform journalism is moving to here. But I love my print. It would be incredible if you could team up with some digital printers so that I could get a magazine of my favorite articles delivered to my doorstep on a weekly/monthly basis. Please, please make it happen.

Congrats @alexandernl @emieljanson on this product, on initial glance it looks great! I work for a curated news startup called Wildcard, and I'm really curious to hear how Blendle was able to develop it's business model. How are you able to sell customers content that your company doesn't own? Does your team have contracts with the NYTimes and WSJ to sell their paywalled content? Congrats again, look forward to testing out the beta!

I've been using Blendle for quite some time now. It's brilliant. I love the beautiful web app!

Congratulation on your next move to the USA! Such a beautiful and disrupting platform.

Very very exciting stuff!

I really don't like this product at all. This is the most literal expressions of a newspaper, but digital. Instead of taking newspapers into the 21st century Blendle keeps them the way they were. Besides the monetisation model this is the most perfect example of looking to your past for your design. As Ford would say: A faster horse. Seems like it was made for publishers to make money while not changing their attitudes. However I do see why readers of newspapers will love this product. It's approachable I think.

Ohh, I'm excited to start using this. Just signed up (:

Congrats @AlexanderNL and @emieljanson . It's hard to find good journalism nowadays, I see many news sites downgrading with badly written articles :( However I haven't tried this out in NL yet because I browse through different websites to read nice articles. So now I am curious, what is the best premium journalism according to you? Can I expect the most interesting articles from great journalists or do you mean excluding ads and filtering articles for me?

very cool - of course, with curated news, it would be helpful to have a political profile for all curators as well as a profile of all stock holdings, current and recent employers and other vital data that produces bias
