Good idea! I am always happy to see more tools come up around the email inbox. Few suggestions -
1. Your privacy page is empty.
2. Instead of asking me to enter a feed URL during signup, you could just start with the email, and then on the next screen, you could show me your list of feed suggestions. I think that would simplify the signup flow.
All the best!
Shameless plug: I run a similar tool called EmailThis [0] that brings bookmarking (similar to Pocket and Instapaper) to your email inbox.
I am also a big fan of Print to PDF. I've actually built a simple bookmarking service [0] that does just this.
EmailThis extracts meaningful content from web pages and sends it to your email inbox. You can also tell it to save a PDF copy of each page, in which case the PDF is sent as an attachment.
Print-to-Pdf is done using Headless Chrome (so it works exactly like doing a Ctrl-P).
I find that the Print to PDF works best because it gives you a copy of the web page even if the original one disappears. Also, none of the content extraction services (mine included) work in 100% of the cases. Sometimes, they might incorrectly remove images and other meaningful content. So in such cases, having a full PDF snapshot is quite handy.
Nice way to find out what everyone is reading while gathering addresses of smart people. ;)

Also interesting is that the context is preserved locally across visits to the site - over 10 years, I have gathered a pretty interesting view of some of the various A/B changes that have gone on, on my favourite 'daily visit' sites ..
And, it is often very revealing of my own habits. This highlights the privacy-factor of having a local-file based bookmark/ontology system a little more in my favour.
I have always wanted to learn DevOps. I use Heroku for almost all my apps, but I wanted to learn what is happening every time I do git push heroku master.
I started learning Ansible recently using the 'Ansible for Devops' book. I used the concepts mentioned in this book and used the author's Ansible roles as a starting point to create a playbook for deploying Rails 6 apps.
I run a minimal email-based bookmarking service called EmailThis.me [1].
EmailThis removes ads, distractions, and clutter from web pages and sends you a nicely formatted email with just the text and essential images. It also gives you the option to save a full PDF snapshot of each web page which is then sent as the email attachment.
It is meant to be a simpler alternative to tools like Pocket, Instapaper, and Evernote.
I run a minimal alternative to Instapaper called EmailThis [1].
It lets you save complete articles and webpages to your email inbox. If it fails to extract useful text, EmailThis will save the page to a PDF and send it as an attachment.
There's no need to install additional apps on your phone or login to any 3rd party service.
Cool project! I think I am going to start regularly making use of it. Does it email you a PDF attachment, or does it just send an email with the contents of the article within it? When I attempted to use it I did not see a pdf attachment. Regardless/either way, really cool project.
