Add Newsletters and/or News Page for Website Updates

At the moment checking GitHub and using RSS feeds, is not user-friendly for anyone that does not have a computer science background or interest. Please can we make an automated email system or dedicated webpage for this? Thanks.

Also, I love the way the knowledge base has been heading, it is now more focused on using logic-based descriptions while relying less on jargon which is a criticism I vocalised initially when starting an account on this website, bravo. However, I wasn’t apply to notice these changes without manually checking. Furthermore, hopefully we can add these changes to make the tool recommendations more understandable, by providing clear use-cases, e.g., (Cryptomator for E2EE only when cloud storage provider does not provide it), which I have also said many time a while ago.

Thank you :slight_smile:

Well, if we were to do this I would want to have a changelog that is “focused on using logic-based descriptions while relying less on jargon” as well, but that does not really happen in an automated fashion, so it isn’t something we can just do right away.

We just have a ton going on behind the scenes this month, but in the long-term what I’d like to do is start posting a blog post/review for each new tool we add. I also want to bring back a weekly show/newsletter that covers removals and other minor changes going on around here.

Can’t say when exactly this’ll happen though, there is also a big backlog of things we need to do before we can focus on that, but do you think that’d help?

I was referring to the changes in the knowledge base which are nice in this quote, don’t think you need to worry about this in the changelog, only a brief summary. Also I like the Wikipedia overlapping link thingoes you added, good job.

Absolutely sounds like yet another step in the right direction.
