I need a few volunteers to identify best posts from breaking smart newsletter. If you've been a subscriber for at least a few years, and are willing to scan my 121 row spreadsheet and mark the ones you thought were good, DM me. Considering an ebook.

I have a sort of weird narrative memory blindness with respect to my breaking smart writing. I have 141 newsletter issues since 2015, but unlike with ribbonfarm, for the life of me I can't remember what 80% of them are about, and staring at the titles doesn't really help.

Yes but I worry for the long term discoverability / indexability of an email platform... Referencing your blogging thread the other day where you suggested moving all to substack. Core long term value in owning and hosting the content somewhere I think

well, right now, it's on 2 email platforms and nowhere on a personal site anyway... I suppose I could do the grunt work of putting it all on breakingsmart.com 1 email at a time, but... kinda don't feel like the schlep is worth it. I'll be compiling into 1-2 ebooks though.

the formatting on substack actually looks better to me and the purls are better too... I might be shutting down my mailchimp account if I can find a way to move my ribbonfarm list there with automation (need an RSS --> summary compilation workflow). for now it's on mailchimp too
