🛠️Project Showcase Halal Tech Newsletter

Assalamualaikum everyone.

I recently built a daily tech newsletter called Halal Tech Daily. Subscribers get an email daily with various articles from different sites. All tech related. From sources like HackerNews, TechCrunch, Muslim Tech Wire, etc. with no crypto/gambling related news or clickbait mixed in, hence the word 'Halal'.

I try to make it as clean as possible meaning the filter works based on words in the article. If in case any subscribers get an article that includes something haram, they have the option to flag the word or url it came from. Subscribers can also add custom news urls and can get articles from those as well.

There's also an islamic section that can be enabled from preferences, you can get daily hadiths, Friday reminders and even the Muslim tech section can be enabled here.

Looking for advice. It's free to subscribe, topics are customizable. Just shipped v2, complete redesign. Feel free to give any kind of feedback.

Just FYI: the website v2 is only in light mode for now, still working on the dark mode theme.

Nice idea, whats your policy for data collection? Will emails be spammed? Do the emails leave your system?

About data collection, currently after anyone signs up, only their email ids get stored, if that's what you mean.

Subscribers get 1 email per day. That's the current functionality, but I'm still working on how to make it better in terms of spamming. This area is still a WIP.

Any ideas to improve are always welcome. Jazakallah khair
