Is the Indie Hackers Newsletter perfect yet? If not, help me change that.

What do you dislike about the current newsletter?. In the summary near the beginning of an issue, it's not clear which items are covered in some depth and which are just links to stories elsewhere.

This is a minor issue though, not a reason for disliking the newsletter. Which I don't have.

Is it actionably helpful? If not, what kind of information would be actionably valuable to you?. For someone starting out completely from scratch, the advice given seems unreachable, unrelatable, and not applicable because it refers to wildly successful creators, outliers. I'd appreciate more coverage of underdogs.

What other newsletters, if any, are you subscribed to? Why?
See the list of the newsletters I subscribe to. What they have in common is they have some practical, actionable, geeky value. I avoid the newsletters that are more philosophical or cover vague or abstract stuff.

If you're a subscriber: Do you tend to read the emails all the way through?
Yes, I always read it all the way through, as all the newsletters I subscribe to. If I'm not sure I can do that, I don't subscribe to a newsletter.

I just wanted to drop in and mention that I've really enjoyed the new format recently. It's one of the few newsletters I get that I actually full read through.

So definitely don't change it too much!

Is it actionably helpful?

I'm trying to get my first ~100 users for my app. I want to see more about failures (or things people decided not to do after testing hypothesis).

The thing that really strikes me about the IH newsletter is that it's very "inside baseball" for the indiehackers.com community. You need to know quite a lot before you can really understand everything in the newsletter. I think that's fine for a community newsletter, but if it's going to be a more mature resource, it's worth considering what level of familiarity you want the reader to have.

6 months ago, I would not have known the following from the newsletter if someone forwarded me this:

• Who "Courtland" is, and what insight he might have about Y Combinator. Although further down, you do hint that he has something to do with a podcast, but it's not clear whether he runs the podcast was a guest
• Who "Pieter Levels" is, and why a new PHP release has anything to do with him
• Who "Sam Parr" is, and why it might be useful to see how he does marketing
• What "Css Scan" is and why it's interesting that it has a new release. TBH, I still don't know... anything not self-contained in the newsletter isn't something I read

In comparison, I don't know who Harry Dry is, but you called him a marketing expert, so that was enough to just accept the advice on its face

Basically i don't sub or read newsletters (since i don't use email much).
So my suggestion would be to post pieces of content, that normall goes to newsletter, somewhere on IH.
I don't know if news will go to newsletter by You only (or will be there other authors)
so having all posts in one place would be great.

What do you dislike about the current newsletter?

I am totally OK with the current newsletter but I would like to see more news that you see and think that are important

Is it actionably helpful? If not, what kind of information would be valuable to you?
Seeing more news would make the newsletter way more valuable for me

What other newsletters, if any, are you subscribed to? Why? (Especially curious to hear answers from people who aren't subscribed to the IH Newsletter.)
I am subscribed to the IH newsletter and I am also subscribed to other tech newsletters like tldr

If you're a subscriber: Do you tend to read the emails all the way through? Put another way: do you enjoy reading them?
Yes I read the entire email and I also enjoy reading them

Also I want to ask you something too Allen, where can I contact you?
