I&#x27;ve been waiting for this.<p>While I like occasionally reading newsletters in my email, after a few subscriptions, it&#x27;s doesn&#x27;t match the workflow of what I expect when I open up my email—namely, spending only a few seconds deciding what to do, rather than a few minutes.<p>When I read a newsletter, it&#x27;s like perusing a library. I want to take my time and email just isn&#x27;t a good format for that (in my humble, yet slightly arrogant opinion).<p>There&#x27;s also more features you can implement with an app. For instance, I&#x27;d love to see old posts from writers I&#x27;ve just subscribed to that were popular months or years ago. All too often, I feel like I miss out on timely posts.<p>Or even just highlighting, annotating paragraphs.<p>I think this will also make people more likely to subscribe to newsletters, because organizing their feeds will be much easier.<p>Excited to see where this goes.

Ouch! I&#x27;ve yet to see an app that does better than the mobile web. (It&#x27;s a running gag that &quot;app&quot; rhymes with &quot;crap&quot;.) I bet they collect more data to track you better though.
