DeveloPassion's Newsletter - Issue #100 - New Beginning
Edition 100 of my newsletter, discussing Knowledge Management, Knowledge Work, Zen Productivity, Personal Organization, and more!
Hello everyone! I'm Sébastien Dubois, your host. You're receiving this email because you signed up for DeveloPassion's Newsletter. Thank you for being here with me ✨
Welcome to the 100th edition
Another week, another newsletter! I hope that you all had a great one 🤩
Today marks a cool milestone for my newsletter. It's the 100th edition! To celebrate, I've decided to offer you a new promotion. Use the "newsletter100" code to get a -50% discount on the Obsidian Starter Kit and Personal Knowledge Management Library.
I have been really consistent with this initiative. This year alone, I've published at least one edition each week, and sometimes more. In total, I've published 62 editions!
If you enjoy this newsletter and get value from it, please consider becoming a supporter. You'll be able to join our community and meet like-minded people while enabling me to keep creating content. If you prefer, you can also buy one of my products on Gumroad or offer me a cup of coffee.
Alright, let's gooooo 🚀
The lab 🧪
This week the numbers of the lab have gone down a little, but it's normal after the success of the Black Friday week. During the last 30 days, I sold 64 more copies of the Obsidian Starter Kit, which is still awesome. I've almost reached $10K of sales on Gumroad, which will be another cool milestone!
I haven't made any progress on my projects, and I think I won't be able to before 2023 begins. It's all right, it's the end of the year, and thus time to take care of my loved ones, recharge, and prepare plans for 2023.
Next week, I'll spend some time reviewing my progress this year, before I update my plans for next year. Growing my YouTube channel will certainly remain an important goal, even if I didn't stick to it this quarter.

Indie Hacking and bootstrapping
UpenAndreiI see a lot of #indiehackers building add-ons or building on-top of platforms. Pros: "why build a rocket ship when you can attach yourself to someone elses?"

But you run the risk of the platform releasing the same functionality natively...just saw @figma release spell check 👇 pic.twitter.com/QiZswWyXeT
