Thank you for this -- I definitely need to add more meat into the timelines for this type of thing.
If this has legs, then I think sponsored newsletter placement makes sense, maybe minimal on-site advertisement as well.
Honestly, I just like building things and I want to start seeing what it's like building a bit of a following. I also launched https://getsaasweekly.com/ recently as well -- I love email, and think there's a ton of value in it.
