Newsletters are awesome, but they're often stuck alongside emails, and rarely do they all get read. Pigeon changes that by giving newsletters a dedicated reading experience away from emails, whilst highlighting the best issues worth reading.

Hey everyone, I'm Robert the maker of Pigeon Inbox (thanks so much for the hunt @chrismessina) Why did I make this? Pigeon Inbox was initially created as a demo product of the No Code course I run, but after a huge amount of positive feedback from newsletter writers and the maker community, we're now starting to build the product! But why should you want it? Newsletters are replacing blogs to become the go-to source for great writing online, but they still feel quite clunky for several reasons: 1) Newsletters are read in email inboxes, but inboxes are designed for short back and forth emails, not well written, long-form content. 2) The majority of people don't read every newsletter they get, so they often miss great content due to bulk archiving/marking as read unread newsletters Pigeon Inbox aims to solve this and add value in a few ways: - creating a dedicated distraction-free space for newsletters - using intelligent suggestions to surface the best issues from your subscriptions - recommending issues from other newsletters (or blogs) about the topic in the newsletter issue you're currently reading - adding threaded comments under each newsletter issue We're aiming to launch early next year, so sign up to be one of the first Alpha users!

@chrismessina @robjbye Congrats on the launch Robert. Very interested to see how this rolls out. I think you've got a great start already with helping folks save time to find the content they need. In a noisy world with an ever-flowing amount of content, this is needed.

@chrismessina @robjbye @michaeljnovotny Thanks so much Michael! Yeah, I was also blown away by the response to our previous product Pigeon News so I'm really looking forward to getting this in the hands of Alpha testers soon as well.

@chrismessina @robjbye This is awesome, you wouldnt believe this, this is something that wanted to test for quite sometime, i have a inbox that has around 8000+ emails unread. Bad habit or bad organization filters by gmail, well i am not sure. But yes this is something i am going to test out and get some feedbacks soon

Hey, great product, it looks so nice! There's a problem with loading time of the images on your website, the one you have on the landing page is quite big, I had to wait quite a while for it to load.

@tymoteusz Same here!

@tymoteusz Thanks for pointing that out! Turns out I uploaded everything in a bit too high resolution! Should be better now?

@tymoteusz @robjbye the images still load slowly :P

Lovely design! I used Stoop before but deleted a while ago. Will check it out when it launches. I'm curious about the community feature. Will they be built based on each newsletter issue or platform? How will "People you follow" work? Do the users need to follow each other to utilise that feature? If so, I think it will be empty for most of the early users in the beginning.

@andrew_cho Thanks so much! We have also tried out Stoop for a while, but it's too simple and leaves you with a lot of unread newsletters and no way to work out the best things to read. 'Inbox zero' shouldn't apply to long form content. And we will effectively be layer our comments section beneath each newsletter issue, and comments there will be public for anyone who reads that issue in the app. We're hoping people will start discussions about the topics in the issue, and share related articles or their thoughts about it. People you follow will be very similar to Twitter, so you can follow anyone (with a public profile) and see what they read, recommend, and comment.

@andrew_cho @robjbye Thanks so much for your reply!
