Newsletters pile up unread until you archive them all in shame
“I subscribed to a dozen newsletters I genuinely like, and now my inbox guilt-trips me daily. Every few months I declare bankruptcy and archive 400 unread issues.”— Hacker News ↗
Newsletter readers (Meco, LoomLetter) just move the pile to another app, where it piles up again. The unsolved bit is honest triage: one weekly AI digest — three bullets per issue, link to the full thing only if a bullet hooks you — so 'unread' stops being a debt you carry.
Anyone with more newsletter subscriptions than reading time
Build a newsletter digest service in Next.js. Give the user a dedicated inbound address (Resend inbound or a forwarding rule + webhook); store each arriving issue. A weekly cron summarizes every issue into 3 bullets via the AI SDK (structured output) and renders one digest page grouped by newsletter, with 'read the full issue' links. First 3 steps: (1) the inbound-email webhook storing sender/subject/HTML body, (2) per-issue summarization to `{bullets: string[3]}`, (3) the weekly digest page + optional digest email.
