If its for geeks, your design won't matter, content will matter. Unless you plan on covering news about design, in which case you will get feedback from designers :) What will differentiate you from other web/geek news sources? Maybe your name can be discovered in figuring that out. Some names: * GET News * The /index * Blinking Lights (looked at my router - there's always something being transmitted) Try writing 30…

GET news is pretty good

Mathieu's Newsletter.

Want it shorter and easier for people to pronounce? Mat's Newsletter.

It worked for Craig's List. And it has the benefit of allowing you to do whatever you want with it, even pivot it. If you give it an overly specific name, this makes it harder to let it develop organically in whatever direction happens to work best.

I would say you should use domain hack to make the whole name become more nature.

You shouldn't have to worry too much about the name. Just pick something related to your field and add `weekly` into it. Example:

https://rubyweekly.com https://cron.weekyly

or my own: https://betterdev.link

What I learn is that content is the most matter. Design wasn't too important in a news letter. Just keep them simple and clean, even a simple email links are all they need. As long as content is good.

You should put more effort into curating content.
