This is a really cool idea, and I like the newsletter layout. My only critique is that it's not immediately clear what the site is for, and the paragraph that spells it out (top-left), is not in a position that I would tend to read first (I went logo then skim "Art of the Propogator" quote). It may be worth considering giving that paragraph a more prominent place, at least for the first few editions (or maybe just the web version, since presumably people know why they gave you their email address).
Seconded: I just fell into the same UX faster than I could even think. Much agreed about the masthead space -- I was visually expecting that paragraph to introduce the site.
This really looks like something I'll include in my regular Clojure reading!
That's great feedback from both of you, I'm changing that up though it's tricky due to all the media queries and the columns matching up in size, but I'm almost done with this and other improvements. Thanks!
Hey, I designed it, and I've felt the pain of low contrast so often yet I guess when you're knee deep making it all look right you lose sight of the forest. I'm uploading a version with more contrast, let's see how people find it.
Great idea! I was thinking black & white, high contrast alternative--maybe both--but I'm a sucker for night modes. Says my Emacs and Duckduckgo setting.
Looks good. I'm a content over style guy so I didn't mind palest of pink on white background.
I signed up. I see you mailchimp, just like def newsletter.
Compare and contrast with Normand's weekly "clojure gazette" or "def newsletter" which have very similar at first glance biz models. I think I know the difference, but you should probably talk about it on your site.
