I created a developer trends newsletter, how is the landing-page?
I love trends.vc's newsletter style, so I decided to create a developer trends newsletter similar to that style. Every few weeks, a drill-down on one trend (next issue will be released in the coming days).
I'd love to think what you think about the landing page, it took me some time to create a developer-centric landing page :)
This looks awesome! One thing that'd be useful is linking to a past example of your newsletter. :)
I did at the bottom of the page "last posts".
I was thinking about adding a small slider of the last few posts on the side, is that something you think would help?
I completely missed it! I was thinking you might add it next to "// A newsletter for technical founders, indie hackers, and curious devs." but it may not be doable because of the coding format.
In that case, yes, I think it'd be great to have it on the side. Or even as a button next to the pink signup button. Just somewhere more visible would be awesome!
I made the link colorized a bold, is it better?
Yep, definitely better! Like I said, it would be great to have it up on the top because people have to scroll to see it. Above the fold is the best position for that.
I'll add it when I have 3+ more issues :) thanks!
Wow, this looks really cool!
Some feedback:
❌ One thing I didn't like was the popup that jumped right in my face as I was reading your "code".
It would probably be on overkill, but I might have added an editor like UI where past posts are files in the file explorer and clicking on them would open a markdown version of them on the right. As I said: overkill, don't do it 😅
How do I go from a post back to the landing page? 🤔
✅ I subscribed, look forward to the next issue ;)

First of all I love the way you presented the reply! thanks.
I've replied to your landing page, great job!
Yes, I'd make it longer than 12 seconds I guess.
Well, even if I came to the landing page first and then navigated to the article, I need a way to go back and sign up. Maybe just place a back button at the top, or a logo with a link.
I just upped it to 16 seconds (I also like the hex reference) - so thanks!
I also added a home link on the top of the articles.
Have a great day!
I really like the creativity used on the page.
The last posts definitely helped me to understand more about the actual content of what I might be signing up for.
Thanks! yeah, I need to emphasize that link more like @LanaRafaela said :)
Very cool
Thanks!
