To kick things off, apologies to the several thousand readers I Rickrolled last week. I was actually so committed to the bit I bought a dummy domain for a few bucks (open-source.lol) that I was unable to configure in time. (I promise, all links below are safe.) Unrelatedly, earlier this year I began including a self-hosted Formbricks survey in the newsletter to collect feedback. At the time, I wasn't aware of just how much feedback I'd receive – and it's been a ton. Unfortunately, I don't always have time to respond (and don't even ask readers for contact info upon submission). In lieu of this, I thought I'd address a few popular feedback themes this week: - There are too many projects listed in the newsletter. I know, but I have 20,000+ readers with different tastes and preferences and would hate to do a disservice to any project by not listing it. In the next few weeks, I'll begin marking 5-6 apps in each section as Editor's Choice for those who (for some reason) trust my judgment and don't want to dig through the list themselves.
- Add an SSO toggle to the directory. I am, and I'm almost there. I'm currently working on a redesign and will pivot to wrapping up the SSO tag as soon as I'm finished.
- Why did you stop posting the newsletter to Reddit? I'm afraid I may have overstayed my welcome on r/selfhosted given a lack of engagement earlier this year. I've since switched to sharing just the first newsletter of each month, although users are always welcome to share it when I don't.
- Spark Mail doesn't display the newsletter correctly. I know, but I'm pretty sure this is a Ghost problem, not a me problem. Plus, formatting e-mail newsletters is hard.
- Bring back the podcast. You'd like that, wouldn't you?
And lastly, because one bulleted list is never enough, my highlights from the week: Happy selfh.st/ing! Newswire
