    Haha thanks! (OP here) I'm using a combination of the Twitter API, RSS, and Puppeteer to put the data together. RSS is nice but not always complete, and some blogs don't have it :)…

    OP here, I know what you mean. I found it similarly irritating while sourcing the data that all the top 10 google results recycled the same, outdated recommendations. Do you mean y…

    OP here, thanks for the suggestion! Yeah it's kinda meant to be like its own mini site. But if you click the logo at the top, it does take you to the root homepage :) Adding a ligh…

    thanks for your feedback (OP here). yeah it's tough, i try to give anyone a chance to rank who has more than just a few posts. what I didn't expect about that site is that it gets …

    Hey there! OP. Yes, that's exactly my point -- that in fact reaching this point has been a six-month effort. I didn't post on HN myself, and therefore did not choose the title eith…

    Hey there! I get the skepticism, though I should also point out...I didn't post this topic on Hacker News. So I never intended it to be here, just trying to answer some questions a…

    Hey there, OP here - yes, that's true. If it's helpful or somehow relevant since you brought up Twitter followers, I started with about 9K when I launched the newsletter. Wrote abo…

    OP here, thanks for your comment! I also don't see it as competition. People will join if they think it's valuable, they'll leave if they don't. You can also be part of multiple co…

    Hey there! OP here. Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm trying this "build in public" thing which is more transparent than feels natural to most people. Who knows where it'll go, but I…
