How does this differ from This Week In Swift? (https://swiftnews.curated.co/ https://swiftnews.curated.co/) And also how is this news worthy?

  Seems like an unnecessarily combative comment. There are plenty of different newsletters focused on the same topic(s), and "newsworthy" is not the focus of Hacker News.

    Well Said. I wish I could give you a gazillion points...

I subscribed to this and was kind of amazed at the content they showed. Under "githubs" they put AlamoFire. Really? Who hasn't heard of AlamoFire that is subscribed to a newsletter? Furthermore, they haven't linked to any blog posts from the past month, which are generally the best places to learn new things for iOS.

  Does not say they show the latest, it's not just another trash rss reader like others. its a hand picked selection voted for by the community and readers. If you want the latest - use Google and the Time search feature.

    Also to add. I do not work for SwiftMonthly. Looks like I got defensive there. Just stating facts :s

    Oh, I didn't see they used Reddit to vote on submissions - that's pretty nice. I guess the community is to blame then, though you can't really blame the community.

Subbed- I think more programming newsletters would be better on a monthly release schedule. I unsubbed from Swift Weekly for this one. I also sub to Elixir Radar and PyCoders Weekly but would be nice if they'd move to monthly.

  Exactly why I like it. I'm fed up of constant emails, I went a way traveling for 3 months. Had 12 newsletter emails and a few News or Updates (From the same service) - Times that by the num of other newsletters I sign up to meant a lot.

    and once you consider how much is technical churn vs true technical innovation- it's almost all noise anyway. I'd be surprised if a monthly update netted me any less critical info for any PL, they're mostly relying on scraped reddit posts.
