Starting slow... and boring.
Over the past 8+ years, I have occasionally sent out an email digest of interesting links to people that I knew and worked with. Most of the links were technical in nature, and I would always try to add my own personal commentary. During the same time I would often come across services and tools which would be useful as a developer, many of which had a free or very low cost option. These would typically be good for personal or open source projects. Most of the time I would add these free tools and services to my list of emailed links.
Last year I bought the develop.cheap domain thinking I may use it for something. And while I’m still working on the site, I figured it would be a great opportunity to revive my newsletter with a proper newsletter tool.
So thank you {{first_name}} for being part of the rebirth and part of my inaugural list.
