Ha, this is great - thanks for building this! I've been wanting to do more around my archive, but it is hard to find the time these days.

I wish instead of calling them "ad blockers", we had used something like "tracking blockers". The tracking/automation of ad networks is what the issue is, not the ads, yet we've made it more confusing for those that don't understand how these things work.

You do realize that most podcasts will go away if they can't make money via advertising, right?

Ah, okay... that makes sense and is a great setup. Did you run into any issues with spam filters when you made that switch?

I think that is exactly what Peter ended up doing for his newsletters.

Just to add to Peter's comment, the one issue with links via email/newsletters is that they show up as 'direct' traffic with no referral, so they are about impossible to link back to anything w/o the utm params.

Those look great, but it seems like that might be a tough market for a while. I think most skiers (at least the ones I know) are still really bummed about the shortened season and probably aren't looking to shell out some cash for something that just reminds them of that fact.

This looks great, but just wondering if you have looked at something like Airtable (https://airtable.com/) to solve this? I had a couple custom tools that were similar, but I've been able to replace them w/ Airtable and it has been nice to not maintain those anymore.

Going to church every Sunday.

I've been running https://hackernewsletter.com for almost 10 years. I think most subscribers these days don't actually use or know about Hacker News, which has been an interesting shift.

Yeah, but I don't think you'll get a great representation here to give you any true market validation. I would go specific if enterprise IT is the area you like, that seems like a great one to get into.

I think I would pick a topic that you're interested in because newsletters/podcasts really only work if you have the passion to see them through.

I believe that is their portal/intranet. Each employee has profile there and these would be badges for that area.

Glad you were able to find something like that via Hacker Newsletter... always great to hear things like that. :)

How can the percentage be greater than 100%?

Based on these - if you have a Saul Bass logo you can only go backwards if you release a new logo.

Thanks for the Hacker Newsletter mention!

Photo labs have been around way before the 90's and lots of people still use them.

Going to plug mine in case you haven't heard of it: https://hackernewsletter.com/

And here is a recent issue (just realized the "latest" on my homepage is broken): https://mailchi.mp/hackernewsletter/459

With inflation, they'll be worth less than 50 AUD. :)

The horrible title font made me think it was only $4.9 million at first glance.

Not sure if I agree with the math, but 2 hours is 5% of 40 and it is pretax as they would have to pay taxes on top of that amount.

There are a lot of great free resources out there, but I had recently shared https://sqlbolt.com with a friend that wanted to learn SQL and she found it useful.

I use to run a project that looked back in time on HN, but it was pretty depressing to see so many dead links each week. Thankfully the Internet Archive solves a lot of this, but it makes you think how fragile the web is.

> Fewer colors also generally make a design easier to replicate freehand, and you want amateurs to be able to easily convey your logo.

You don't _ever_ want people to be re-producing your logo (and especially free-handing it!). That is why they pretty much all have a "brand" page to pull assets from: https://brandfolder.com/slack/logos.

Had to see this in action:

The only thing that would of made your summary better is if it was written in the Dotsies font.

You do know it is just a series of tweets, right?

What is a "blue bubble"?
