What is a Short Ruby Newsletter

It is a Monday morning summary of the articles, discussions, and news from the Ruby community. I watch a series of places like Twitter, ruby.social, Reddit, Linkedin, Dev.to, Ruby LibHunt, and other news sources.

The newsletter is curated by @lucianghinda

Why become a paying subscriber?

Direct subscriptions fund Short Ruby Newsletter from readers like you. I invite you to become a paid subscriber to keep the weekly edition free in the long run.

If you like this newsletter, maybe you want to consider becoming a paid subscriber for 1.6$/week (or 6.5$/month).

A small part of the community will help (by investing in the sustainability of this newsletter) the more extensive community. If you can afford it, please choose to be part of this community.

Read Why Paid Subscription for more explanations about why to subscribe.

I can help you write an email for your manager/leader to expense your subscription in general or from your learning budget, so please reach out to me at hello@shortruby.com

Why I created this newsletter

A lot of content about Ruby is shared online, and most remains there. Sharing it on Twitter or any other social media benefits their creators, and they deserve a lot of praise for sharing this valuable content.

At the same time, this content is lost. Probably (and I am doing the same), when sharing such small bits of content on Twitter, we think it is temporary and short-lived. So I want to have a place to store it in a way.

I will do this primarily, but you can follow along if you want. I plan to publish one weekly newsletter, where I gather the best content I can find on Twitter.

Let’s see how it works.
