I recently started reading a lot more blogs. I'm always interested in reading the old posts, but feel overwhelmed by the length of the archives (some of them are up to 10 years old!). I have gone back and tried to read just the top posts, but still feel like I was missing out on some of the old classics. To tackle this problem, I built a website to resurface old content by sending weekly emails. Let me know if you have any suggestions of other blogs / content you’d like to see. Hope you find it as helpful as I do!

Interesting idea! May consider scaling towards mailing via mobile messengers. There will be less interaction time.

Congrats on the launch! More websites should use the color green, it looks really good. Could you share some of the challenges you encountered during development? For example was there something that proved quite hard to build?

@chris_robinson10 Thanks! We actually used some great tools that made this easier for us. Vercel + Next.js for the front end, Resend for sending emails, Supabase for our databases. We stand on the shoulder of giants! Me and @sam_toffler are serial 'start a project and don't ship it'-ers, so actually getting this over the finish line and launching was probably the hardest part for us :)
