Kill the Newsletter! is a service that converts incoming email newsletters into entries in an Atom feed. You create a feed, receive a unique email address to subscribe with, and then read newsletter issues from your feed reader instead of your inbox.

Key Features

  • Generates a unique email address and corresponding Atom feed for each newsletter subscription
  • Converts received emails into feed entries so newsletters can be read in any Atom-capable feed reader
  • Supports typical double opt-in flows by exposing confirmation emails as feed entries
  • Feed management via per-entry settings link, including the ability to delete a feed
  • Privacy-oriented design that discourages sharing feeds and does not track users
  • Automatically trims older entries to keep feeds within a size limit for compatibility with feed readers

Use Cases

  • Replace inbox newsletter clutter with a feed-reader workflow
  • Centralize newsletters alongside RSS/Atom subscriptions in a single reader
  • Subscribe using an alias address per newsletter to reduce spam risk and improve organization

Limitations and Considerations

  • Does not support publishers that require replying from the subscribing address for confirmation
  • Some newsletter publishers may block the service’s subscription addresses
  • Older entries may be deleted to keep the feed under a size limit

Kill the Newsletter! is a practical bridge between email and feed readers for people who prefer Atom/RSS-style reading. It works best with newsletters that support link-based confirmation and standard email delivery.
