First time my writing was featured in a newsletter

I couple of weeks ago I have completed a post on managing a Django project with Poetry. It started of with as a video tutorial that I then converted to a simple set of steps, so that users have a choice between how they want to learn.

This was a great learning experience. I got to work with a mic, video recording and editing software. I got to practice my writing and teaching skills.

I then sent the article/tutorial to two of my favorite Python related newsletters, [Python Weekly(https://www.pythonweekly.com) and Django News ran by @wsvincent and Jeff Triplett.

To my surprise, Will and Jeff decided to feature my article in their popular newsletter. I got a considerable amount of traffic from that feature. In fact, I got almost as much visits from this feature, as I did when I shared this article on HN, IH, Reddit, Twitter and a bunch of other communities.

The two spikes you are seeing below describe this dynamic.

Traffic

Now, it's time to move to another tutorial, another piece. The further the better.
