       | That's cool. There are a few of them already, what makes this one
       | different?
       | 
       | Gonna share a link to my Elixir related project (formatter for
       | .html.l?eex files) that readers will probably find useful.

         | Nice! does it work with .leex files for LiveView, or templates
         | inside a LiveView .ex module? That's the biggest small issue
         | I'm running into day to day.

           | Actually, gonna add Issue to repo, so I wouldn't forget :)

       | Bit of a tangent, but I can highly recommend the "Thinking
       | Elixir" podcast.
       | 
       | The other ones are nice too, but this one starts with general
       | Elixir community updates and has been great for me to catch up on
       | what's new, similar to the newsletters.
       | 
       | And usually the interview guests are pretty great too.
       | 
       | Plus, I've grown fond of the very short bassoon(?) two-tone intro
       | followed by a friendly "Hellooo", rather than the obnoxious intro
       | music that so many podcasts go for :).

         | "Thinking Elixir" is one of my favourite podcasts for all the
         | reasons you mentioned.

       | Just a quick heads up, in a thread the other day I was told by
       | dang that newsletters aren't applicable for Show HN as per this
       | page I'd never noticed before:
       | https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html So take my upvote but at
       | the same time, I imagine this post might be removed in some form
       | later(?)
       | 
       | You may find it useful to submit it to these various directories
       | as well: https://newslettercrew.com/list-of-newsletter-
       | directories/ .. plus places like /r/erlang, perhaps. It would
       | probably work out better for HN if you have some blog posts or
       | articles and promote the newsletter off the back of them :-)

         | Out of curiosity how come you never did one for Elixir as part
         | of cooperpress? Half expected/hoped you'd start one at some
         | point.

         | Right you are. I've taken "Show HN" out of the title
         | accordingly.
         | 
         | Actually, newsletters per se aren't great as HN submissions
         | either. It's a bit like submitting a blog's home page. It would
         | be better to submit the most interesting issue/article so
         | there's specific information for people to discuss.

       | Edit: it's fortnightly (every two weeks)

         | It's every other week, yeah.

         | Funny, the same word can actually mean both:
