Would you actually read a daily newsletter if it was written for you?

I m experimenting with something new in Trace.

Instead of asking people to check another app, Trace now sends a daily email with the most relevant things for their interests from across the web.

Same idea as the feed:
you tell it what you care about
it adapts based on what you read or skip
no trending-for-the-sake-of-it
meant to be read in a few minutes, then closed

I m curious:

Trace - Trace β€” a daily email of what actually matters to you

Trace now sends a daily email with the most relevant things for you from across the web. Instead of checking Reddit, X, Hacker News, blogs, newsletters, and YouTube, Trace scans them for you and sends a short, calm digest straight to your inbox. You tell Trace what you’re interested in and your level of familiarity. It builds a working profile and curates content around that. Over time, it learns from what you open, read, or skip β€” so the emails get sharper and quieter.

If you were using Trace daily, what would you want it to get right first?

I m curious how people here think about a calmer, signal-first feed in practice.

If you ve tried Trace already:
What felt immediately useful?
What felt missing or confusing?
What would make it something you d actually open every day?

If you haven t tried it:
What would you need to see before giving a feed like this a real shot?
What would make you bounce?

I m early and still shaping this, so honest feedback (good or bad) is genuinely helpful.
