Ideas to understand the world we live in
The first weeks of the blog have been great! Got close to 1k unique visitors with more than 2 minutes of average retention time. All organic, not paid.
The most successful post in terms of engagement was the "What I've been reading" series and this is why I'm making it into a newsletter: The Big Ideas Weekly!
The week's best reads about big ideas to understand the world, delivered every Sunday morning.

I shared the first post around social media and got around 300 unique visitors on the first day. Overall, I would say it's a good start!
I'm particularly happy of how the about page came out; It teases some future content and concisely explain the blog's intent.
Some technical details:
- Built with Gatsby (I don't like it, will migrate to NextJS at some point)
- Hosted in Vercel's Now (I like it)
Some of the things I want to add in the future:
- Add comments
- Add email subscriptions
- Add better support for media content like images, video, podcasts and the like.
Onward!
