Is it OK to have 2 projects inside the same newsletter?

What questions do you ask yourself when deciding if to start another project?

Context

I am teaching blockchain programming BUT I have a doubt if I should split my attention and focus into 2 separate products.

Product 1 written in Go - CURRENT focus

I started with a very specific product first: How to build a blockchain from scratch in Go [eBook].

The entire https://web3.coach page is dedicated to it and it's getting slowly the traction. 250 subscribers atm.

Landing page header looks like this:
product1_header

Product 2 written in JS? - Bad idea?

I am thinking of adding a second product. Also from the blockchain ecosystem but it would be written in JS with focus on specific Ethereum blockchain implementation.

I am not sure if this is a good idea. I would have to make double messaging, everything more generic and refactor the website to something like this:

product2_header

I would like to lead people to the same Web3.0 newsletter but I am worried the Go developers will get annoyed by the JS tutorials and the other way around. But I don't want to do a segregation into 2 different lists bc both technologies are complimentary and both groups could benefit from it.

Question

What would you do? Split it to 2 different products? 2 different newsletters? Don't create the second product until the first one is successful to avoid losing focus and splitting energy?

      Thanks Juris. Yes indeed. The thing is I love both topics exactly as you said and they are equally interesting. The second one I am considering launching, would have a more broader audience though and that's what drives my dilemma really.

      I feel like I am maybe overthinking this and running in the circles at this point. Cross promoting it would be def an option as well.

      I have the feeling like I would like to have "all under one roof" though. I think I should just decided and give it a try for a month let's say, instead of overthinking it all the time and being inactive. Buuut, in case it takes off, I don't want to have bad structured fundamentals heh for SEO purposes, etc.

      Anyway, I guess all this is just an optimization and I should just focus on the core of the idea and polish things later once I see if the idea is even working or just continue in the current project.
