Welcome to MorningNewsletter

Hi, I'm Manuel Escrig, and I built MorningNewsletter because I needed it to exist. Let me tell you why.

Welcome to MorningNewsletter

Hi, I'm Manuel Escrig. I'm a software developer, and like many of you, I start every morning drowning in information.

Why I Built This

Every morning, I found myself trapped in the same exhausting routine:

  1. Check email
  2. Open Slack
  3. Check crypto prices
  4. Look at the weather
  5. Browse tech news
  6. Review business metrics
  7. ...and on and on
By the time I'd gathered all the information I needed to start my day, I'd already spent 45 minutes jumping between apps, lost my focus, and felt overwhelmed before I'd even had my coffee.

The Breaking Point

I kept thinking: there has to be a better way.

As a developer, I've always believed technology should make our lives simpler, not more complicated. Yet here I was, using dozens of "productivity" apps that were actually making me less productive.

The Solution

I wanted:

  • One place for all my morning information
  • One email that I could read in minutes
  • One moment of clarity to start my day
So I built it.

The Vision

MorningNewsletter isn't just another app to add to your morning routine. It's designed to replace the chaos with calm, the scattered with the structured. When you wake up, there's one beautiful email waiting for you with everything that matters to your day.

Why This Matters to Me

This project is deeply personal. As someone who's spent years optimizing code and building systems, I couldn't stand the inefficiency of my own mornings. But more than that, I care about the human side of technology. We shouldn't have to adapt to our tools; they should adapt to us.

Every feature in MorningNewsletter comes from a real need I experienced:

  • The customizable delivery time? Because I wanted my brief ready when I woke up, not when some algorithm decided.
  • The source flexibility? Because my interests and responsibilities change, and my tools should keep up.
  • The clean, scannable format? Because information should clarify, not clutter.

The Power of AI in Your Morning

What excites me most is how AI transforms this experience. We're not just aggregating data; we're using AI to create something truly intelligent.

I believe in building in public and with my users. MorningNewsletter will grow and evolve based on what you need. I read every piece of feedback, because this isn't just my tool anymore; it's ours.

Some things I'm excited to explore:
