Dear friends,

If you're reading this via email, you might notice it looks a little different. That's because I've decided to switch things up and move my newsletter to a new platform.

I began writing on Medium, but after realizing I couldn't collect emails from readers, I made the jump to Substack. Now, after a year, I've found that the customization options are still a bit limited for what I want to do.

So, here we are. I’ve switched to a platform called Ghost.

Ghost feels like a blend of WordPress, Substack, and Patreon. It offers full website customization, lets me publish articles as newsletters, and even allows the option for paid subscriptions in the future. Plus, I can host it for free if needed.

The migration process from Medium and Substack was smooth and fast. So far, so good... let’s see where this goes. 😄

On another note, things are going great here—soaking up the sunshine in Berlin. ☀️

Much love,
