Hey there, I created Muna. It's a bit late in my TZ right now, but I'll be happy to answer to everything when I wake up!

In the meantime, here's a blogpost that explains the why and how of Muna : http://geoffrey.io/muna-your-personnal-paperboy.html

Does it track click throughs so you don't get the same links every day? I'd love something like this for instapaper!

Yes it does track links, and instapaper integration is planned very soon!

This is cool! I've definitely looked for a site that did this before. What's it built on?

ubermudavor 12 Jahren

It's built on Symfony with a few cron jobs to process everything in the background and sendind the emails through Mandrill. I'll most surely add some kind of queuing mechanism (either with redis or RMQ) soon to handle things more gracefuly.

The design is a paid wrapbootstrap theme called Harp.

Nice idea to leverage twitter's starred items. Do you plan to support other social services ?

ubermudavor 12 Jahren

Thanks for asking!

Yes I plan on supporting at least Pocket and Instapaper, maybe more depending on demands.

Do you think tools like this will make people star/favorite more or less stuff over time ?

ubermudavor 12 Jahren

Yes. I know I personally do, now that I don't fear to forget content I favorite anymore, it's made favoriting stuff even easier than before!

FYI you can actually achieve this same thing for free using IFTTT and email digests

It's true yet it's going to be free as in "build it for yourself and maintain it all your life". I tend to forget how I've built some tools I'm using and I sometimes spend hours re-understanding what I've done.

Regarding the price, services like feedly - disclaimer: I've been a paying subscriber in the past - cost $45 per year, and it's not been clear to me what value it was providing me (except some integrations with 3rd party tools maybe).

Anyways, I would certainly love to see an integration with RSS readers like the one mentioned above (which would also mark as read all the posts I received in a digest).

You definitely can, and in Muna's current form, I guess you even should :) The thing is, I have a lot of ideas that will make Muna unique and, hopefully, a lot more usefull, like offline and mobile reading support, content relevance ranking, etc.
