Thanks, it looks much better. FWIW here's my subjective comments:

1. On-boarding is now much better (although I would have a sentence saying 'credit card not needed' somewhere along the process to encourage more uptake.

2. The addition of the screen grabs really helps with first impressions.

3. I'm afraid I don't find the layout or the content compelling enough. At any price. Sorry. I am comparing the value to a quick read of HN on any given day, and a) I can't scan the content fast enough to make it trivially easy to assimilate the news and b) the curated stories in no way match the compelling quality of HN - in my opinion.

4. The bottom line is 'why would I pay for this?'. I would gently suggest that you remove the subscription requirement right now, until you test the product quality and market fit. Set up a Discord, encourage feedback, send out a newsletter. Do whatever it needs to discover the value and market fit before you go any further.

Apologies if that is not what you wanted to hear, but I am just one opinion, so I could be talking a load of rubbish. As I said though, good luck with the project. I think there's definitely a germ of an idea there.

Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback.

I fully understand the argument for the value not being there yet, appreciate the honesty. There is work to do on the product and marketing side to increase the value delivered.

While making it free to gather feedback may be one sensible approach to take, for now at least I think charging users from the get go will give us a better indicator if the idea has legs. With that being said, we will explore your suggestions to see if there's a compromise to be made.

Hopefully we can win you over in the future!
