Started it over six years ago and have been sending it every week since. Have about 39,000 subscribers and still see a 45% open rate. It has been a lot of fun, and even better, I have made connections with a lot of great people.
And I just want to tell you that I really like the service. It allows me to quickly check the most interesting posts of last week if I wasn't able to read up on Hacker News during the week. Apparently, your selection matches my interests quite well. (And for the other weeks, I get a nice confirmation that indeed I've read/seen the most interesting stories :-))
Thanks for creating this. I was introduced to Hacker News through your newsletter. When I think I browse too much the site and I want to stop it for some days I know that I won't miss anything because I'll get updates on Friday. Thanks again!
Thanks a lot for this. Was looking for something like this. But I'm a little sad that this will now make me not want to put in the effort to make one myself.
