Monthly Hologram Newsletter

After building Hologram and sharing updates across various places, I’ve realized there’s a lot happening that doesn’t always make it to the usual channels. There’s been quite a bit of non-obvious progress over the previous months that many people probably aren’t aware of. So I’m starting a monthly newsletter to keep everyone in the loop on what I’m building.

What you’ll get each month:

Development milestones and progress updates
New features being worked on
Community discussions and highlights
Insights into the framework’s direction
Ecosystem news and updates

Think of it as your monthly check-in with the Hologram world - no need to piece together information from different places. Everything gets compiled into one convenient monthly update.
Whether you’re already building with Hologram, considering it for future projects, or just want to stay in the loop on what I’m working on, this newsletter will keep you connected to our growing community.

Ready to join? Head over to https://hologram.page/newsletter to subscribe.

Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all!

Would you mind if I ask why you have not decided to use push notifications? Unless you own your own email server which you have to maintain and it’s problematic if your mails would be tagged as spam (often for unknown domains) you most probably need to pay for sending a bigger amount of emails, right?

As far as I remember push notifications are completely free and much more modern alternative. First of all there is no worry that a database with email addresses would leak. The Discourse, web chat apps and even mail clients provide push notifications. Did I missed something important?

There is still RSS feed. I pay way more attention to the feeds I subscribed (1 minute) than email I received (1 second)

Email newsletter is better at delivering ads, RSS is better at delivering contents..

Yes, push notifications again do cost money if you get a certain amount, they can only contain a small amount of data, and whether or not the full message can be displayed within the notification without opening the app is questionable and might even depend on the device.

Piggybacking Discord or others as notification providers require recipients to have an account on that platform and the software to be installed and their notifications to be set up properly to actually receive them.

Emails on the other hand side are a universally accepted message format, and you can assume everyone on the internet has one. And the messages can be transfered across “providers”. Unlike Discord chat messages, which require Discord…

Small update: issue #3 went out a month ago after the long gap, and issue #4 went out yesterday - so the monthly cadence is holding this time (some of you noticed ).
