Awesome idea! I was hoping somebody came up with a newsletter for HN.

duck7• 15 years ago

Thanks! I've been doing it for 41 weeks now and the feedback has been great, but wanted to wait a bit till I posted it back on Hacker News.

Just wondering, do you think the general acceptance/feedback would be different if you didn't wait so long?

When I found this, I immediately appreciated it and joined. It's been wonderful.

thats great! signed up as soon as i looked at one of the previous newsletters.

I love this for weeks when I'm particularly busy. But even on weeks where I check HN very day, I still go through the newsletter each weekend and re-visit the "Ask HN" and "Show HN" threads.

Thanks, Kale

Thanks, and actually the "Ask HN" and "Show HN" threads were the original reason behind the newsletter... since those seem to not stick around on the front page very long.

This has been a huge timesaver. I look forward to it every week, Kale. Thanks.

A flattr button would be nice ;)

duck7• 15 years ago

Not really a fan of Flattr or donate now buttons, but I've had a lot of subscribers ask about it. I just started using some affiliated type links and would like to run ads at some point if I can keep them relevant (which I think will be easy to do). After today I'll probably have to start paying for MailChimp (which is a good problem to have), so I need to figure that out sooner than later.

About time this got submitted, Kale! I'm surprised it wasn't already, even :-) Kale has been putting in some solid time on this.

duck7• 15 years ago

Thanks Peter! I don't know how you do two newsletters and all your great sites... these things take a good bit of time. I don't even want to keep track of how long it takes me just to click the publish button when I think I'm done. I know if there was an edit button that would reduce it for sure. :)

And I have another couple of newsletters coming out in the next few weeks too! :-) I need to write about it sometime - there are some big wins you can make by cobbling together various scripts and techniques. Need to get today's Ruby Weekly out the door now though.. ;-)

So many of you already knew about it, am I feeling left out :(

BTW, subscribed :)

Great timesaver and a good combination of links. Thanks Bro! -- I'll buy you a couple beers since you don't have the 'donate' button or ads yet.

lostbit• 15 years ago

I've subcribed since the begining. I like the way the sessions are divided. I also passed the newsletter to friends I know that they would not follow HN everyday. I understand there is always some bias in any news selection but I believe Kale is doing very well!

This is great. Can I suggest adding the vote count for articles that you're linking to? Helps me get a quick sense of just how popular something was.

Relatively certain Paul is not a co-founder for Blogger.

Yeah... that was worded wrong. Will fix, thanks.
