Go hard. I’m validating Readly before I overbuild.
Landing is a waitlist with useful vs not + stated price ranges - trying to learn if people care.
Rip apart: headline, whether you believe the problem, and if you’d pay anything.

I get a lot of newsletters in Gmail and the thread UI makes it hard to sit and read calmly. I almost always skim and move on.
Curious if others feel the same, or if you’ve found a workflow that fixes it.
I put up a rough landing page to test interest (not selling): whether this sounds useful + a vague price check. Only if you want to look otherwise happy to keep it in the thread.
I’m building a small tool for people who subscribe to lots of newsletters in Gmail and want a calmer place to read them (one stream, less inbox noise). Not trying to grow a list here I’m trying to see if the problem is real.
If anyone’s willing to sanity-check the idea, there’s a 2-step waitlist on the site (useful or not + rough price range). Happy to take blunt feedback in replies too

Happy to remove if this breaks sub rules.
I’ve been a software engineer ( heavy frontend ) for the past 4 years, and I’ve always been drawn to great landing pages, polished products, and beautiful UI. In fact, that attraction was one of the main reasons I chose the frontend development path in the first place.
Lately, I’ve been seriously considering switching to Product Design, but I’m unsure where to begin. I’m also not sure whether this is the right move considering the rise of AI, the current market situation, and the impact on compensation. Right now, my pay as an engineer is decent, and changing careers feels like starting from scratch again.
I’m feeling conflicted about whether this is the right step long term. I’d really appreciate some advice on the market, career growth, and whether transitioning from frontend engineering to product design makes sense today.
