Email is good.

A blog ostensibly about email productivity by Chris Coyier who you can email, obviously, at chris@coyier.com

Meco

“Free your newsletters from the inbox”, Meco says.

I tend to agree. I keep my content consumption stuff out of my email inbox. I do that through Feedbin as it makes the most sense to me to combine that with RSS. But if you’re not an RSS type, I can see this being useful.

Looks like you “hook up” your email address to it, and it yanks the newsletters out of it. That scares me, personally, especially since this thing looks very vibe-coded. But them giving you an email to send the newsletters to is smart.

Maybe the smart move for them is to do the “hooking up”, but have it crawl through the last year or so of email and auto-subscribe to those newsletters in Meco and UNsubscribe from them in your regular email.

The daily audio roundup from all your newsletters is pretty neat, too. I find AI voices grating for now, but maybe if the content were entirely based on stuff I know I subscribed to on purpose, I would find it more palatable.

    So is this just https://kill-the-newsletter.com/ with a fancier AI client, that uses a proprietary reader instead of just converting to RSS? Not saying that’s bad per se, but it feels like this wouldn’t add a ton of value for me. Maybe, like you said, there are people who aren’t really the type to use RSS—but it feels like the solution is for them to get used to it, not use some sugar-coated 3rd-party service. IDK. Interesting, thanks for sharing.
