Thursdays
The good ones, once a week
Everything published that week, one line each, plus the collection of the week. That is the whole format, and it will not grow into a digest.
What arrives
- Newly published tools — everything that made it through review that week, one line each, with the platform and price up front.
- The collection of the week — a hand-assembled stack with a note on why those and not the obvious alternatives.
- One thing that broke — a tool that got worse, a free tier that quietly shrank, a link that died. Nobody else sends this and it is the part people reply about.
What does not
No onboarding sequence, no “quick question” follow-ups, no webinar invitations, and no sharing your address with anyone. Sponsorship, when there is any, sits in one marked slot and never pretends to be editorial.
Roughly how long
Ninety seconds. If it starts taking longer than that it has stopped being useful, and the fix is cutting it rather than adding a table of contents.
