“There is no real ending. It's just the place where you stop the story.”
Hello,
You might have noticed that we have been unusually quiet for the past couple of weeks. That is not really like us.
This time, though, things are different. Andrea and I took a little time to reflect, talk honestly, and prepare what will be the very final issue of FullStack Bulletin.
This has not been an easy decision. There are quite a few reasons behind it, and they deserve more space and honesty than I could ever fit into a short editorial. So I wrote a dedicated blog post to tell the story properly: Farewell FullStack Bulletin.
If you think you will miss FullStack Bulletin, please do check out the new website too. We wanted to leave behind something genuinely useful: the full searchable archive, structured data exports, the open source code that powered the newsletter, the live streams where we built and refactored parts of the automation, and a curated feed of websites and creators that inspired so many of the issues over the years.
So yes, this is the end of the newsletter. But it is not the end of everything that came out of it.
It has been an absolute blast, and a real privilege, to share this little corner of the web with so many of you over the years. Thank you for reading, replying, sharing, sponsoring, encouraging us, and giving this project a reason to exist week after week.
I am not going anywhere. I will still be around building things, writing, speaking, and getting excited about the web and software engineering. So do not be a stranger. Let's keep the conversation going.
Even if not through FullStack Bulletin, I hope we can still keep learning from one another, and keep inspiring each other.
After 458 issues, 3,073+ curated links, and almost a decade of showing up in your inbox, it felt only right to make the final featured article the story behind this goodbye. In this post I share why Andrea and I decided to stop, what FullStack Bulletin meant to us, what we learned from it, and what still lives on beyond the newsletter itself. If this project ever gave you a useful rabbit hole, a fresh perspective, or just a little Monday energy, I think this piece will resonate with you. It is not really an obituary. It is more of a love letter to a project that meant a lot to us, and that shaped a big part of our lives for almost nine years. I hope you will give it a read.
