Totally in love with the clean UI and easy management offered by the app. Instead of having all my newsletters create a mess in my inbox, I subscribed to the ones I really wanted to read using my @slickinbox.com email ID. Having multiple emails and inboxes is not a solution, segregating by task is. My actionable emails shouldn't appear in the middle of my reading list newsletters. I would set up filters in gmail to sort them in folders, but they used to go untouched and unseen. Slick Inbox was the much needed change, I never knew I needed. Slick Inbox focuses on readability. The homepage has a list of newsletters you are yet to read, along with the publication logo as well as the date. The most important feature, imho, is the reading time shown before you open any newsletter, which helps you decide what to read in the time you have. Once you open an item, you can mark it as read or as favorite. You can archive or maybe even share it. A mark-all-as-read button on the homescreen helps you achieve inbox-zero much faster. The Subscription management dashboard allows you to manage each publication. Settings like if you want to receive a notification on your phone and seeing how long have you been subscribed are useful. And so is toggling a button to unsubscribe and avoid future letters. It also allows you to maintain a 'keep limit' on a per-subscription basis so that only the freshest letters are retained, and rest can be discarded automatically. A Discover dashboard has been a recent addition, where newsletters are curated carefully and can be subscribed by visiting the link. New publications can registered on the website to be featured in-app. The developer, @edisonywh has a lot of other features on his roadmap, like custom folders and statistics. Let's see how it plays out. I'm excited because it actually worked for me and I got back into reading precious newsletters.

Hey @aayushjain, thanks for hunting Slick! I'm really glad that you are enjoying this app as much as I do, as an indie maker it's messages like this that keeps me going, knowing that things I am building are providing actual value to other people! I built Slick Inbox because I was frustrated about missing my newsletters, due to them somehow being sorted into Promotions tab on Gmail and getting buried under the sea of marketing newsletters. I thought newsletters deserve better, so I decided to fix it. With Slick, you sign up to newsletters with your unique @slickinbox.com email, and that's it! With that you now get to read your newsletters in Slick, in a way that's optimised for reading newsletters. Aayush gave a great rundown of what Slick does, so I'll spare you the reading here :) Slick is technically still in beta, but it's very much stable and usable. I plan to lift it out of beta when I start monetising it, which would likely be subscription based (price to be determined). I plan to hand out a couple of free months for beta users too, so make sure you sign up now :) If you have any feedback, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @edisonywh, or follow @slickinbox for product update! P.S Credit where credit is due, I first came across the newsletter reader idea with Stoop Inbox, which is a great app that I used extensively, so definitely check that out too. There were just some minor issues I thought could be improved so I decided to try my hands at building one.

I've been using Slick for a few months now on my Android phone and love it. Now instead of reading social media while I'm waiting somewhere, I can just read my newsletters. The app also makes it easy to favorite particular issues, forward issues to others, and unsubscribe. Now the only problem I have is that I've subscribed to too many newsletters and need to whittle the list down. :)
