Would you actually read a daily newsletter if it was written for you?
by•
I’m experimenting with something new in Trace.
Instead of asking people to check another app, Trace now sends a daily email with the most relevant things for their interests from across the web.
Same idea as the feed:
– you tell it what you care about
– it adapts based on what you read or skip
– no trending-for-the-sake-of-it
– meant to be read in a few minutes, then closed
I’m curious:
What makes a daily newsletter worth opening for you?
Is it length, tone, sources, timing, or something else?
And if you don’t read newsletters at all — why not?
Would love honest answers. This feature is very early, and feedback will directly shape how it works.

For me it works only if it feels personally filtered and takes under 3 minutes to read — otherwise it just becomes another unopened tab in my inbox.
Honestly, the main reason I don't read newsletters is 'inbox fatigue.' Every business and e-shop I've ever visited starts blasting me with updates instantly, so my physical capacity to read them is basically zero :D
The only thing that would make me open one is true exclusivity—like a Patreon-style model where you get educational insights or content that isn't accessible anywhere else. If it's just a summary of what's already on the web, it's a skip for me.
