πŸ“œ Content​

Our editorial line assumes our readers are:

  • React developers: we cover the whole React ecosystem
  • React-Native developers: there's a dedicated section in the newsletter
  • experienced: they know React well and are not interested in beginner-friendly content
  • passionate: they want to stay on top of their favorite technology
  • open-minded: they also want to know about non-React news that are relevant to them
  • respecting their time: they want a content pre-filter instead of scrolling on Twitter
What makes this newsletter unique

It is a weekly curation of news for React developers, not just about React.

We focus on what's really new in an exhaustive way. There's usually a lof of external links, but readers aren't expected to click all of them: simply reading the headlines and comments usually provide enough value.

We filter content heavily, and generally exclude:

  • content produced for SEO, based on keyword analysis
  • listicles, 101's, verbose step-by-step tutorials
  • most UI libraries and npm packages

SΓ©bastien Lorber (@sebastienlorber) is a T-shaped software engineer, with a strong React and React-Native expertise.

He became a React early-adopter in January 2014.

With nearly a decade of React experience, he has the credibility and authority to know exactly what is interesting to a senior React developer, and is able to provide unique insight.

It is one of Meta's most successful open source project. Docusaurus 2.0 launched recently, and his managers and colleagues are satisfied of his work (1, 2, 3). This newsletter website itself is built with Docusaurus!

FAQ​

Why are some dates marked as unavailable

This newsletter is mostly run by a single person who sometimes has to take vacations πŸ˜…

I prefer to be pessimistic and open sponsorship slots once I'm sure I will be available.

Are the sponsorship dates contractual?

The respect of sponsorship dates are a best effort and not contractual, unless we sign a contract.

This newsletter is mostly run by a single person, and unexpected life events can happen.

That can lead to offset the upcoming sponsorship slots. In practice, your dates shouldn't be delayed by more than one issue/week.

We will let you know if publication dates are postponed, and look for a solution together in case your dates are not flexible.

Do you provide tracking / reporting?

We don't provide any kind reporting by default, but you can ask for a basic reporting one week after the send.

To measure the result of your newsletter campaign, we suggest:

  • to provide your own tracking links to count clicks: use bit.ly!
  • to intercept the utm_ querystring parameters we automatically add to all external links

In the future, we will look into providing a good reporting automatically.

Why are prices higher for a single issue?

To keep a positive ROI, we have to take into account the time it takes to manage sponsors: explanations, booking, invoicing, ad copy reviews, questions...

Why is the sponsorship calendar public?

This newsletter is being built in public, in a transparent way:

In case you don't want your company's name to appear in our public calendar, please give us a company alias name.
