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!

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
).
Issues are shorter now and tied to Hologram’s release cycle, so they land roughly every 4 weeks.
If you’re subscribed but don’t see them, it’s worth whitelisting newsletter@hologram.page (and checking spam).

Issue #2 has been sent

Cool, I was afraid it was too long

Was great, really appreciate the longer format of it

Update: The first issue of the monthly Hologram newsletter has just been sent out!
If you subscribed, be sure to check your email inbox (and spam folder just in case).
New subscribers are always welcome for future updates!

It’s another topic of type: “theory vs practice”. In theory
Firefoxlooks like a best browser even if other browsers have it’s own good features that should be taken in consideration. In practice whatMozillais doing is completely unacceptable. M$ and Mozilla have terrible agreements which allow them in fact spying it’s users to power up some AI tool/service which in fact can cancel most of our contracts immediately.It’s so sad that if some idea is failing we have to lose privacy to fix that. It’s like the more you hear the less motivated you are, you don’t care anymore and it’s fine even if you have to do some things a little bit manual. That’s why I’m still a
Gentoo Linuxuser. So far I’m using aFirefoxclone calledZen browserwhich positions itself as privacy-first and it has a very interesting features btw.Of course
RSS! How could I forgot about it! Even if software or agreements are a complete mess it’s terribly easy to write your own reader. I’m in fact subscribed to manyRSSchannels. For me that could be a real alternative.bartblast
Actually, this should be totally doable with a relatively small amount of work if we’re talking about static RSS feeds. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ve added it to the backlog!

Totally understand being cautious with your email after that exposure. Have you considered using email aliases/forwarding services? Tools like SimpleLogin, Firefox Relay, or even a cheap domain with catch-all forwarding let you create disposable addresses that forward to your real inbox. You can shut down any alias that gets compromised while keeping your main email completely private. Might be a good middle ground for staying engaged in the community while maintaining your security-first approach!
Plus, this way you’ll be able to safely subscribe to my awesome Hologram newsletter!

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..

Oh, I didn’t know we cost so much i.e. I for example have enabled desktop notifications for all 3 forums. Sorry
But honestly … I didn’t heard about costs when last time I was dealing with them, but things change and my information does not have to be up-to-date.
Or just post on forum and let people know there is a forum setting for enabling a desktop notifications.
@bartblast Hmm … I’ve got all your points, but the forum allows you to do all of that absolutely for free and literally without any work from your side. People can enable
push notificationsoremailsin their own preferences page, for example here is one option that 100% match your case:All people have to do is to just watch the specific topic.
Of course you may post directly on the forum or just post the quoted summary and simply add a link to your page. Please keep in mind that the community here is rapidly evolving (see changes to library updates). Also I would think about one more things i.e. views. There is much bigger chance that you will have more clicks by cross-posting or posting summary on the forum, so in my opinion posting (this or other way) here is best in long term.
Unfortunately I prefer to not share my email too much. One time I’ve got lesson when my email was exposed and I will rather follow my rules:
Of course it’s your decision. If it’s not best for you it’s fine. Hope you would have a lot of subscribers as you anyway do an amazing work.
