• After more than 20 years, I published my first dirty project

  I also use it for its Popular Bookmarks - I subscribed to its RSS feed in NewsBlur and always have something interesting to read when my other feeds are Empty (they rarely are). - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Killed by Google

  There's a bunch of replacements. I like https://newsblur.com but there are 4-6 large-ish similar sites. That said, partially what people miss is the relative cultural hegemony of Google Reader. It was RSS front-and-center, prominently featured on websites, supported by the biggest company in tech, with all the users there and able to take advantage of the (sparse) social features. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Ask HN: Alternatives to Reddit

  Https://newsblur.com/ I think this might be pretty close to what you're looking for. It's an RSS feed reader with a platform for discussions. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• How I built ✨tinynews.ai a Bespoke Email Newsletter Service

  For those of you old enough to remember tinyletter.com, it was an extremely simplified newsletter creation tool that was eventually acquired by Mailchimp. I really appreciated the pure design and focus of this previous company that I decided to name my service tinynews.ai as an homage. Source: about 1 year ago

• Self-hosted newsletter tech stack for $0-7/mo

  Tinyletter - I only heard about this source later on, so it wasn’t relevant, but I might’ve used it (note: it is part of Mailchimp). - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• I was bored and made a short little newsletter that I may end up doing on a weekly basis. Let me know what you think!

  For how to actively distribute the newsletters if you go the email route there’s several services (unless you’re cool with just whacking everyone’s email into a BCC list and sending manually, of course) you might find Tiny Letter useful. It’s 100% free and intended for exactly this sort of content and handles important things like unsubscribe functionality. That said is does seem to require a postal address that...
