We’ve taken our amazing newsletter content, which reaches over 250,000 people a month, and put it into a social networking site similar to Reddit, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
@jason, thank you for setting up! Very helpful and timely product. Way too much noise about tech news on all the different platforms! Also keeping it with real names is so needed. Signed up as @kalpatel.
I love this product! I keep subscribing to newsletters, but I don't like having to view them inside email because I find so many other distractions while I am there. Great idea to have an aggregated view of the excellent newsletter content.
Is there any plans to allow non-Inside newsletters to post to the feed?
@mattcrail Thanks for supporting Matthew! Anyone can submit any story from other sources now if they'd like... as long as it's not self-promotional or spammy. So if you see a cool article form another NL, submit it and they'll get credit in our feed.
We're in the making people smarter business - whether that's from us or other source.
I've been a long time reader of the Inside newsletter, so it's awesome to see you all add the community engagement layer on top with this new web app. Excited to use it & congrats on the launch!
Q: I am a bit curious about the tech stack chosen for this product. Specifically, did the Inside team consider using any of the forum-as-a-service / community management software in the market? What does @jason think about the "community infra" space (e.g. Circle, Orbit, Common Room)? Thanks!
@jason@oscar_hong1 We built this as a propriety software to enable seamless integration with our newsletters, events, and ad network. With that said, big fan of the other community infra products on the market. We just wanted to bet on ourselves with this one and build custom to our needs and growth plans (which you'll see a lot of cool features rolling out on a consistent basis)
Thanks for being a reader and we hope you dig the new social component. Just wait until you see what else is on the roadmap! It's going to be killer
Great! I like it, and categories are awesome! Seems that you can really absorb a lot of insightful info here! ^_^ Congrats on the launch! ^_^ Are you maybe planning to add some creative topics about art and design? :))
