About this site

Nodepond's Nerdletter is an (almost) daily newsletter, that started out as an experiment in 2024.

I started the Nerdletter out of pure curiosity. 

  • First, I wanted to experiment with a daily, atomic newsletter format
  • But more importantly, I wanted to highlight great work by great people. All that nerdy stuff out there, happening every day, but often flying under the radar. 
  • Social media today is filled with hate, fake news, heated arguments, and nonsense. This Nerdletter is my personal contribution against all that crap. 
  • And why a newsletter? Honestly: As a reaction to Elon Musk ruining Twitter. 😤

It's more fun to compute!

Now... over one year has passed. And the experiment grown to a full project.

  • February 2025: Gave the project an own domain nodeponds-nerdletter.de
  • March 2025: Also broadcasting into the Fediverde. You can subscribe at: mastodon.gamedev.place/@nodeponds_nerdletter
  • April 2025: I moved the newsletter to an own server - self-hosted in Germany with the open-source-tool Ghost. The archive of the first year is over at Beehiiv.

Be the good feeling in Nodepond's head!
