What HN said
What people liked
Clean, minimalist design
From 2 comments
I've immediately fell in love with the design. It's very minimalistic and straightforward, not a shitty bootstrap theme. Subscribed !
yagodragon on HNSo agree with your design! It's simple, not boring and retro-like. Amazed!

Useful content for keeping up with programming news
From 2 comments
I've just subscribed. No shame in my eyes, the more the merrier. Things like this help me keep afloat of what's going on. Thank you for the great resource :)
jwdunne on HNI like it. Thank you.

Objections
Publishing every workday is too frequent to sustain
From 2 comments
Latest article has a typo: "program that let's a user". Should be: "program that lets a user". I think a daily newsletter is too frequent. It'll get harder to maintain as time…
TheAceOfHearts on HNwould this not be better every other day or 3rd day? Every day is just too much and maintaining quality is not sustainable unless there is a team working full time on this.

Site relies on JavaScript and renders blank without it
From 3 comments

megaman22 on HNDude, please, don't use JavaScript to load content. With uMatrix enabled your site is dead on water.
elorant on HNI was going to say something similar. I have JS disabled and auto reader mode enabled, and get a blank page. On average, I’ve found news sites render a bit better with JavaScript…

Email-only delivery; no RSS or permalink at launch

And if instead of email I was interested in just a RSS feed? An email is expensive to me. It seeks me out instead of the other way around.
crowbahr on HNCan I just get a permalink I can bookmark to the latest article?

Add an unsubscribe link on the site
From 1 comment
If you're able to copy the archives across to your own site, it might be worth it for the SEO benefits (and you can put the signup form at the top of each page). But your focus…

Add screen reader support

Maybe when you get a free day you could add some screen reader support. Nice tool, thanks for sharing.

Questions
How does this differ from Hacker News or existing HN newsletters?
From 1 comment
I am bring sincere with this question: what does this offer that HN (which is somewhat manually curated itself) or existing HN newsletters don't already?

The name remind me of Chris Alcock's [The Morning Brew](http://blog.cwa.me.uk), a .NET orientated daily roundup of articles that I've followed for years now. I recommend it.
