#buildinpublic ledigest.email

The most exciting thing I built in ledigest.email by far:

The ability to get all the newsletters you've subscribed to....in just ONE email.

Free the inbox!

#buildinpublic

The chrome extension for ledigest.email is live: chrome.google.com/webstore/detai… 🚀

Save articles you find throughout the day 👀, then get them in your inbox the next morning ✉️

#buildinpublic

I emailed the (small) base of users of ledigest.email and ask one question.

If ledigest.email wasn't free anymore, would you pay $3/month ($36/year) to keep receiving it?

Only 2% said yes.

Do you keep building or move on to the next idea?
