Looking for feedback for 4minit and ideas on how to improve?

Hi everyone, it's been about a month I've been running 4minit (link to previous thread), and I'm keen on any feedback and suggestions on how to grow subscribers and readers.

I have been thinking of doing marketing (ads, influencers, paid referrals system), but I'm worried if my fundamentals aren't sound it will be a waste of money.

Since last month, I upgraded the front-end and back-end (new polished look, content improvements and smarter editor logic). From the last thread there were a few ideas given such as website darkmode, mobile app, multiple languages etc. but I did not prioritise those as the core remains "daily local newsletter in English"; that's why I've just been focusing on the newsletter and the content itself.

So far, the system I have is quite stable and we have about 25 daily readers out of 50 total subscribers.

I really feel like 4minit can be extremely useful, especially for the expats and international students in Mauritius where English is their first-language, but I'm not sure how to get their interest to read.
