Isn't that exactly what the submission is about? It seems to be a tool to convert any newsletter into an atom feed by creating a fake inbox. This lets everyone consume the content in their preferred format. Sure it would be nice if newsletters were available as news feeds too, but in the meantime this is a nice hack.

I’d guess that the OP is responding to the phrase “kill the newsletter” rather than the specific tool.

[TheRealPomax]

that.

It's a perfectly fine tool, but "kill the newsletter" is an incredibly bad rallying cry and should be questioned.

[mfbx9da4]

it's just a catchy name!

this guy gets it! the thing which annoys me the most about hacker news comments is the pedantry: "how about stop trying to kill technology you don't like" shhhhh

[TheRealPomax]

welcome to hacker news, if you didn't want to see pedantry, you might be hanging out with the wrong crowd ;)

[iamdamian]

I'm not sure I'd call this pedantry, just maybe a different angle or focus than the one you have in mind. Is that fair?
