About this newsletter

(v1, reposted from my wiki, where the latest version can always be found)

As I write this I'm preparing to fly to Vancouver for AtmosphereConf 2026. It just doesn't seem right that I run a workshop at the atproto.science event ...

... whilst only publishing longform content using sites (my experimental wiki, my hub, Medium, LinkedIn, Mailchimp) which are not on the Atmosphere, particularly as I played a reasonable role in putting the entire ATProtocol Science agenda on leaflet.

Of course, if I was a developer that would not be the case, because solutions exist:

I'd also be very happy to stop using Medium, LinkedIn or Mailchimp, but the fact remains that the vast majority of my audience currently receive my content via those platforms. At least I don't use Substack.

So with this newsletter I'm going to start by reposting my content here (if and) until I start to get Leaflet subscribers. At that point I'll start transitioning my followers and subscribers on other platforms to here, using the same techniques I originally developed for migrating away from X:

So if you'd like to accelerate that transition, please subscribe and share!
