Stoop

@MikeKulick @onchainbee @timraybould Yeah, back online now. Many of the missing newsletters over the past few days should still make it in eventually. Really sorry about the lengthy outage.

@onchainbee @stoopinbox @timraybould So, small victory: I was just able to successfully log into beta.stoopinbox.com and at least access all of my subscriptions. It hasn't pulled in any newsletters since Friday. But could be worth trying.

@stoopinbox @timraybould Hello, it seems stoop-inbox has stopped working. Please announce officially if this won’t be supported anymore. It was great app btw. Would still love to see it maintained. (happy to even pay 3x current price for pro version) 🙏

For all who've reached out: Stoop is back online. Really sorry about the lengthy outage.

@fspaini Fixed! Sorry about that. Failed deliveries will retry over the course of the next few hours.

@rsathish93 Hi, no, there’s isn’t an option to “mark read on open,” but it’s not a bad idea :). Though on iOS (but not yet Android), there is now an easy way to mark all as read once you’re done with a group.

Hi @stoopinbox - Is it possible to mark opened emails as read? Currently, we have to manually mark them as read by clicking the tick button. Thanks

@seanbonner Was it the first one you sent in a while? We cleaned up the database a couple months ago by (with warning of course) deleting long dormant accounts. The next time those accounts get newsletters, Stoop auto unsubscribes them to make sure your list is clean too!

I just sent out a newsletter and half a second later got automatic unsubscribes from about 50 people with @stoopinbox emails. I don't know if that was intentional or an accident, but if you use Stoop and read my newsletter you might want to double check your subscription.

@learnwithvidya Database storage costs!

@stoopinbox Over a year. That's a good to know. Thank you! But is there any particular reason behind this?

Hi newsletter senders, just a quick PSA: we’re cleaning up our database and deleting lots of dormant user accounts (they’re getting warnings of course). The next time you send an issue, you may see a spike in unsubscribes from Stoop as we auto unsubscribe for deleted accounts.

@learnwithvidya If they haven’t used Stoop in over a year, an email gets sent saying “we’ll delete in a week, but to prevent that just login to Stoop once."

@stoopinbox How long they should be dormant to get deleted?

@MassagingMedium Sort of. Rewrote the app on iOS and didn't bring that feature over yet. Intention is to make it available on the web soon. It's still there on Android.

@stoopinbox did you eliminate the option to migrate Stoop to some other reader/address?

@donmableyallen You’re not missing anything, the directory is sans search at the moment. Will add it back soon. Of course, you can search for newsletters on the web and subscribe using your stoopinbox address.

@kylepetz All of the actions in the “+” menu, except for new folder, are also located in the main menu under the Stoop section (Directory etc). The email overflow menu is primarily to reply or forward a message, and has an unsubscribe shortcut.

@kylepetz The only way I could get it smooth enough was to use the system default and the word delete is not yet customizable. It does actually perform a “mark as read” action. I know it’s a lame reason! I did try to inspect those buttons while updating, no change yet unfortunately.

Yup ... 100% agree. But I'm also worried about giving Substack data about non-substack newsletter readers. It feels like we have been down this road many times before, and it usually doesn't end well.

New release for the iOS app 💫. Stoop 2.1.3 brings back swipe to archive! Along with it comes a subtle design change of the main inbox view. "Cards" are out in favor of a cleaner list.

@ashoukry You will not. Notifications aren’t part of the web app yet. Haven’t looked at the latest possibilities there in a while, may do so soon!

@stoopinbox I installed the web app looks interesting. Should I uninstall the android app will I get notifications from the web app? Thank you

@stoopinbox This year I am giving stoop another try

@kylepetz I will do some poking around today on this to see if I can figure it out. Will let you know if I’ve got a question for you.

@stoopinbox FYI I'm still having these issues. Can I help in any way?

@kylepetz Thanks for following up - I meant to ask you to recheck with 2.1.2. Sounds like that didn’t fix it. I can try a couple more things (still unable to reproduce). Do you have any accessibility settings turned on at the OS level like a bigger font size?

@stoopinbox FYI I'm still seeing the issues regarding the three-dot menu and the + button. Any idea when a fix might be available? Btw I've already logged out/in and did a uninstall/reinstall but the issues still remain. On iOS 14.3 (18C66).

@blanchomme Trying to add this back! It’s rewritten in a new framework called SwiftUI which for the most part is great but I’ve not been able to get the swipe to archive as smooth as it would need to be. Coming soon. Fwiw, the mark all as read function is much improved.

@stoopinbox argh - taking out the “swipe to mark as read” function on iOS was a step back imho - much harder to power through the inbox now. (Or is this user error?)

@NicWondering Thanks for the shout out and great list of newsletters!

I’m subscribed to well over 120+ newsletters. Every morning with my cappuccino in hand, I open my @stoopinbox and start reading. Over the last year that I’ve immersed myself in the world of newsletters, I have come to enjoy a few. Here is that list in no particular order.

@iAmanguptaa Thanks!

Downloaded @stoopinbox app and at the splash screen, got a CTA to preview the app before signing up. This gives users an option to explore the UX of app before signing up and helps build the trust. This is really amazing UX to add in your product. 👏👏 for the team.
