This sounds like a valuable resource, and there's a lot of good stuff on this page: simple call to action, clear understanding of my needs (get first 100 users), and proof that you're using a service that I trust (CovertKit) to send the emails.

Here's why I didn't sign up:

1. I have no idea who is offering this newsletter and what their accomplishments and qualifications are.

2. I have no way to gauge the format and value of the information I'll be receiving.

Fortunately, these are pretty easy to fix: all you need is a photo and short paragraph about yourself (with links to projects that give your advice credibility) and a couple of links to example emails for users to read before committing to signing up.

Seconded. I'm interested in the topic, but there's not enough information for me to commit (and by HN standards, I'm relatively carefree when it comes to providing my email).
