Love this idea. I was a fan of this novel a long time ago. I really want a bite-size reading newsletter style like this.

What I think is you should have an index of similar novels too. You can put a list of recommended novels in the newsletter email, or sent a follow up email after finishing the whole seris of 117 chapters of Monte Cristo.

I am happy with Fastmail too. Use it for more than 3 years and never look back. There is a hype about Hey mail recently but I won't buy it:

- It is more expensive than my current plan with Fastmail. Hey mail is 99$/year.

- As all of my current emails and contacts are in fastmail, I am not likely to switch to another providers. Also, because I am happy user, I don't see the need to switch.

At the first glance, I thought Amazon ship Kindle to customer with storage as a bonus.

I was on parental leave and my son was born on a beautiful day. The next day, I got an email announced that everybody in my technical team is marked as redundant. I am speechless and through conversation, there is a sudden withdraw of investors to fund our company. Without this funding, it is impossible to keep the company going. From what I know, it sounds like a way to minimise the loss.

I was sad. We have a big plan to roll out a big feature in May. Now everything I worked on in last 6 months will be put on hold. Probably it never push to production.

My latest joy of becoming a father was ultimately skewed. Now I have to find a new job in Australia while taking care of a newborn. Things become harder this time when many companies impose a hiring freeze.

I still keep my faith that one day I will escape from this unemployment. One day.

I am in the same fate. My company has teams in Melbourne and San Diego. The whole team in Melbourne office get laid off just 2 weeks ago.

I am working in Australia but with working visa. So it is urgent for me to find a work within 60 days. Getting a job will be harder this time due to the fact that not all the companies I applied can sponsor visa for applicants.

But I am still keep my faith. There will be jobs available and even in the worst case, I could take a time off to spend more time with my family.

I used to work in payment team of Grab, one of the biggest hailing ride app in SouthestAsia. Now I am living in Melbourne, Australia. I have more than 9 years of professional working experience, including 5 years working in backend distributed system.

I also switched to Fastmail too. Its interface is rudimentary similar to Google few years ago. It has full suite of services like calendar, notes, storage...

What I like is its simplicity which Gmail may bloat with too many features. One notable feature of Fastmail is alias: you can create other emails alias to your main account and use that to create different rules. Super handy and convenient. If you worry about encryption, probably ProtonMail is a better choice. For me, Fastmail is good for my usage.

Hi bchurch, I wonder that Gitlab sponsor for working visa in certain countries. FYI, I am currently working in Australia under working visa. If I apply to Gitlab, I prefer to stay in Australia. Best regards, aladine
