Post Description

I am the author of This Week in Obsidian, a newsletter published every Tuesday to help Obsidian users stay up-to-date with the latest community news, discussions, and interesting plugins. The Obsidian community is very active, with new plugins and lively discussions every day. For the average user, there's no need to spend a lot of time reading all of that. I hope This Week in Obsidian can help you spend just a little time each week keeping up with the latest from the community.

The newsletter has now published 25 issues and has over 500 subscribers. I've also worked out an efficient and simple publishing process, so maintaining the newsletter is cost-effective and doesn't take too much of my time or energy. That means I'll likely continue publishing it for a long time. If you're an Obsidian user too, maybe you'll also enjoy This Week in Obsidian. If you have suggestions for improvement, I'd love to hear your feedback.

Weekly newsletter of the best indie games from Hacker News

The author has done the simple thing very well: each week you get a tight, skim-friendly collection of Show HN game posts with an archive to browse. The neon, dark UI gives it character, but there’s no sign of anything clever under the hood — no ranking signals, tags, or playable embeds — so it’s handy for its niche but not transformative.

Keepsanity.ai – an AI newsletter for overwhelmed engineers

The landing delivers a tight promise — ‘stay ahead of the AI game without the overwhelm’ — and the signup flow looks deliberately low-friction. What’s missing is evidence of unique curation: no sample issue, ranking method, or filter logic is shown, so it reads as a well-designed but typical newsletter unless the author surfaces a distinctive editorial process or dataset.
