Issue 100 deserves some love!
That's right; you are reading SwiftLee Weekly issue #100! Almost two years ago, I started curating articles from the community and delivering those to you every week.
My first newsletter issue was minor and only contained a link to my weekly article. I don't even have a link to it online since I only started providing online versions since
issue 39. It's an example of how this newsletter grew to what it is today.
If you know me, you also know I like to create tooling that makes me more productive. This newsletter is now backed by a self-hosted
Sendy, and I'm curating using
Goodbits, in which I submit articles through my self-created SwiftUI application using their API.
I've also created an app to monitor statistics to optimize the newsletter and gain better results. Over the past 26 weeks, my subscribers count gained 2348 new subscribers. With an open rate of 54% and a Click to Open of 19.9%, I can tell that you're all liking my newsletter quite a bit!
And that's exactly what's motivating me to keep reading great articles from the community. It helps me stay up to date on the latest Swift features, while you make sure to at least not miss articles that I found a must-read every week.
To thank you for supporting SwiftLee Weekly, I managed to get ourselves a fantastic giveaway. Check it out in this issue, and enjoy!
