What's New

Today, we are announcing a completely redesigned UI! It's more compact on both Web & Mobile, and hopefully helps you read better.

We also finally shipped ability to read your digests in the web. You can read all of your previous digests there as well.

Also, many more minor improvements have been made – let's dive in.

1. 📰 Digests in The Web

We now support reading digests in the web.

You can just head to summate.io/digest and see all of your digests.

2. 🎨 Full redesign of UI

We have finally made UI better, in terms of navigation and also in terms of reading summaries / newsletters.

It might be still slightly buggy on very old mobile devices, but should be stellar reading experience outside of it.

This week, we are announcing a completely new summarization algorithm! It's more comprehensive, accurate and allows to jump-to-read to an exact part of a newsletter.

Also, many more minor improvements have been made – let's dive in.

1. 🆕 New Summarization Algorithm

We shipped new summarization algorithm. It has:

• ✨ Better Quality of TL;DRs without any extra fluff.
• 📚 The most information-dense key points you've seen: short-summary in bold + explanation of that idea for improved reading experience
• 🔥 Ability to "jump-to-read" to an exact part of a newsletter by clicking on a key point

These summaries are available to all users of summate. Try it out today and give us feedback to support@summate.io.

2. 🛠️ Our First Integration

We are excited to announce our first integration – with Readwise Reader.

Now, once you add your Readwise API token, you will have ability to save your newsletters to Readwise Reader.

3. 🛣️ Public Roadmap & Feedback Tool

We now have a public roadmap and feedback tool. You can access it here.

We encourage you to go and add your own ideas on how summate can be better or see what other users propose to improve and vote!

This week, we are announcing a command palette and a new pricing plan! Additionally, many more minor improvements have been made – let's dive in.

1. 🔎 Find Anything

We are excited to announce that we are introducing a command palette to our website!

Now, you can click ⌘K and search for any page or any email subscription that you have.

This is the first step towards a future, more robust search that we plan to introduce.

2. 🗓️ New Pricing Plan & Sunset of Free Plan

We are excited to introduce a new pricing plan: Essential. It will include all features from the Pro plan and will be priced at $4/month for the time being.

We are also going to sunset our support for users of the legacy free plan. You can read the reasoning on that here.

A guide on how to migrate from the Free plan to the Essential/Pro plan can be found here.

3. 🛠️ Minor improvements

We also shipped a bunch of minor improvements:

• 🐞 Fixed a bug for the incorrect drop of a fraction of forwarded emails. There were 5 emails dropped because of that, and we have restored all of them.
• 📧 Removed the Forwarded section from the email reading experience. Now, if you directly forward a message, it will not include headers: From/To/Date/Subject and ----Forwarded Message----.
• ⏰ Introduced reminders for the trial end. Now, 2 days before your free trial ends, you will receive an email with a reminder.
• 🔄 Added support for aliasing emails. Previously, raduan@summate.io and raduan+alias1@summate.io would result in 2 different senders. Now, we have unified them into one, which should make your inbox cleaner.
• 📬 We are starting to share these updates now via email. If you don't want to hear from us, feel free to unsubscribe.

This week we are announcing a completely new way for sharing newsletters. Also, many more smaller improvements have been made – let's dive in.

1. 🌐 Share your Newsletters

We are now allowing you to share your newsletters with anyone you want. By default, all newsletters are private, however on the newsletter reading page you can choose to share it.

You can always stop sharing the newsletter.

We are also taking measure to secure your subscriptions, so on public versions of the newsletter, no-one will be able to unsubscribe from it.

2. 🗓️ Auto Daily Digest

We realized that daily digest is one of the strongest value features, when it comes to reading, so we've enabled it by default for new users.

You can always head to summate.io/settings/notifications to change it.

3. 🛠️ Minor improvements

We also shipped a bunch of minor improvements, which will help us to substantially improve UX in the future:

• 🔥 Fixed a bug with inconsistent email styles. It's now 100% same styling as you would see in your email client.
• 📬 Redesigned inbox subscriptions and inbox email UI for easier navigation.
• 💡 Make a light theme a default one.
• 🐞 More smaller bugfixes and improvements.

This week, we are announcing three changes to summate on the path to the official beta release.

1. 🚀 Increased Limits

We are increasing the summary limits for our Pro users – now, we provide 500 summaries per week.

2. ⚡ Instant Summarization

Now, any email that lands in your summate inbox gets instantly summarized. No more waiting until the digest has been generated – read summaries of your newsletters right away.

3. 📤 Auto-Forwarding

You can now get onboarded to using the summate inbox in less than 5 minutes and forward all newsletters from your main inbox. Please read our comprehensive FAQs on how to get started.

That's it for this week – stay tuned for what's next!
