I was mulling over the idea of creating a newsletter for Tailwind but didn't know if people were interested. I started researching possible solutions to host and send the newsletter. I found Revue and saw it was pretty cheap, just $5/month. I figured if it didn't work out I would just lose $5-$10, no big deal.
So I signed up for Revue and created my profile page, customize it to use colors of the Tailwind palette, and just used Tailwind's logo with a different background color, it was a pretty low effort, to be honest.
Once that was up, I sent this message to the #showcase channel on the discord:
hello everyone, I want to share my big idea/side project for this holiday season, a TailwindCSS newsletter! You can sign up here: {newsletter-link-here}, I'll be sharing news, tutorials, articles, talks, resources and websites made with Tailwind, with you through there
During that week, I got 21 subscribers, I was hooked! 21 people wanted to hear what I found around the internet that was tailwind related. Felt pretty motivated!
