If this is not a wake up call for me, I don't know what it should be. I had this same exact idea for 9 months now but never moved to execute. Reading through site it even has the same wording as in my head.

As a developer I wanted to build something like this and it looks easy(without AI part). But following the startup gurus and podcasts I figured that idea should be validated first and to find actual customers is more important than building technology. Here started troubles. I have no skills in marketing and when diving deeper it looked cumbersome for me. I spend free credits on AdSense but it only brought 8 emails for empty newsletter.

I'm interested did you do the research on user base? What would be a market for this?

Where are you planning to grow the site? Do you have monetization plan?

p.s. found a link in comments for read2me.online, and just from demo they sound really good for ears

Likewise, I spent a day building a proof of concept but lost interest after.
