There is a lot of struggles when maintaining a newsletter platform, but I believe that similarly with hosting your own website outside a platform, one could host their own newsletter.

This is sort of a new years resolution.

If you have been reading the recently posts you may have noticed that a lot what I write are thoughts that sound like affirmations on things that I want to myself.
