Substack 🗞

In July 2021, I started this weekly tech newsletter through which I kept on sharing articles worth your read.

I have published 22 issues so far! If you have missed any of these, then take a look at them here.

Today we have 3200+ subscribers for this newsletter. 🎉

For me, this would be a great boost and will enable me to continue this in the long run.
