This is pretty neat. Newsletter discovery is one of the biggest challenges right now. So many people are getting bogged down with crappy newsletter because they can't find the no-name authors that are generating top shelf content.
Would be cool if there is a review/ranking mechanism to help the best boil to the top.
This is one of many things I miss about RSS: there were "planets" or other aggregations of individual RSS feeds. So you could get curated content from a host of authors, and if you didn't like the curation you could grab the OPML and customize it.
Newsletters are fine, but they feel like a massive step backward both functionally and from a privacy perspective.
Totally agree about RSS. I think the best thing about email is that authors get to build their own connection to the audience. Either way, there are options to make this happen if you want it: https://feedbin.com/blog/2016/02/03/subscribe-to-email-newsl...
Did you mean ‘motto’? I like what you’ve published so far, I might mention on articles you surface like “SCP is insecure and slow”[0] that it was written by a company with a competing product to sell you, in this case Gravitational.
Adjacent to devops/SRE, I've been actively looking for newsletters (or communities) related to Distributed Systems. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has any recommendations.

* Long-form curated "DevOps" stories; a mix of news and editorials
* Monthly update frequency
* Presented in a form that is easily scanned; headlines and a paragraph or two on the front page, with clickthrough to the full article
...basically, a DevOps newspaper, but curated carefully and produced slowly.
