I am curious about the advantages of a newsletter over a blog featuring an RSS feed that you can subscribe to. The concept of getting mailed regularly seems so 1.0 and overcomplicated. But my question is serious - I also maintain a data science blog and I'd like to evaluate offering a newsletter version of it.

I rely on newsletters instead of RSS because newsletters will sometimes send articles from publications I am not subscribed to, but if I subscribed to them, I would get too many unwanted articles.

Even if I decided to build up an RSS reading list again, I would rely on good newsletters to tell me about new sources.

I don't. Used to. In fact, this was a primary mode for me, until RSS. Then I used RSS to setup feeds I would pick through on a recurring basis. The noise levels have gone up, and my interests have changed with career and role changes too. Now I default to a few communities, this one included, where I can follow and interact with others who have interests and experience I find relevant. Ideally, I contribute the same.…

>Some newsletters are pretty great. I would reconsider them given much improved curation. Not sure where others are at, but for me at least, it's an opportunity for somebody.

I'm actually trying to solve the problem of curation and discovery at Letterlist.com. It's amazing that there isn't really a great way to find the best newsletters yet.

I'm curious - what is the biggest barrier stopping you from subscribing to newsletters? Is it solely the curation issue?

And as for podcasts, it's a great question - I started a new thread (Ask HN: What must-listen podcasts do you subscribe to?)

I create a Dev Tips Daily 5 days a week: https://umaar.com/dev-tips/ - It's basically a gif showcasing a DevTools feature.

Major fan here.

I can't believe this is not getting enough vote to rise to the top. This guy is unstoppable with amount of tips and the effort it goes into illustrating them with animated gifs.

*Must-follow for frontend developers
