Just a quick heads up, in a thread the other day I was told by dang that newsletters aren't applicable for Show HN as per this page I'd never noticed before: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html So take my upvote but at the same time, I imagine this post might be removed in some form later(?)
You may find it useful to submit it to these various directories as well: https://newslettercrew.com/list-of-newsletter-directories/ https://newslettercrew.com/list-of-newsletter-directories/ .. plus places like /r/erlang, perhaps. It would probably work out better for HN if you have some blog posts or articles and promote the newsletter off the back of them :-)
- p5v 6y agoThanks! Point taken.
- kule 6y agoOut of curiosity how come you never did one for Elixir as part of cooperpress? Half expected/hoped you’d start one at some point.
- petercooper 6y agoAs the 'publisher', I used to abide by a philosophy of not publishing a newsletter in a space I didn't understand. While this has helped with quality control, this was probably not a great business idea as it's meant we've missed out on a lot of growth areas I'm personally not technically au fait with (Elixir and Rust come to mind).
- dang 6y agoRight you are. I've taken "Show HN" out of the title accordingly. Actually, newsletters per se aren't great as HN submissions either. It's a bit like submitting a blog's home page. It would be better to submit the most interesting issue/article so there's specific information for people to discuss. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20newsletters&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
