    Hey everyone!

    This is my first startup. I know it's not an earth shattering idea, but I'd love to hear your feedback on it.

    Is receiving a weekly newsletter of about 5 - 10 significantly discounted SaaS subscriptions something you would deem of high value to web folks?

    If not, how so? What pitfalls do you predict in providing such a service?

    I intend to build a customize tool so that subscribers can also choose which categories they prefer. This is to help prevent subscribers receiving deals they're not really interested in or able to benefit from.

    Let me know if the site copy is also unclear as to what I do.

    Thanks so much you guys, I'll really appreciate your feedback :)

    I just signed up as a business and decided not to proceed. I don't like the upfront cost, I would much rather a pay-per-click model or a percentage of sales achieved. Feels like too much risk for an unknown, unproven service.

    All the best.

    How will your service be different from Appsumo.com?
