Hey, I’m also very interested in this! Just an FYI, IME using hello@domain or any similar role-based or impersonal email from an unproven domain OR while using a service that lumps you in with a bunch of other accounts will make it really hard to end up in a primary email inbox. Most of the time you’ll get diverted to promotions (Gmail) or spam (a bunch of others).

Thanks for the feedback, octostone! I'll keep this in mind and definitely fix it, if I do move to another ESP.

A bit of context: I set up the landing page with some basic copy two days ago (February 1). I saw this Ask HN on the front page yesterday (February 2) when it was about 7 hours old, so I made several edits to the copy to make the message clearer, before sharing the link here.

So, I was plenty surprised by the number of subscribers‡ I got from this comment alone. Thank you to everyone who subscribed to be a reviewer!

‡If anyone is curious about my numbers, yesterday, I got 17 subscribers, currently at 20 subscribers!

In the spirit of transparency, these are my current numbers for https://guide.ayewo.com/:

  - 164 Visitors
  - 20 Subscribers
  - 12.2% Conversion Rate
