01 - I’ve set up my website!

Hey friends 👋

It's been 2 weeks since I decided to start this newsletter. I wanted to publish a newsletter every week but I failed the very first week! Proud of myself :)

I decided to quit my job a month ago and my last working day is on 30th September. Last year has been a crazy journey building a community for creators. I'll park the stories from my job for another day. But as I'm quitting my job, I found the inspiration to start this newsletter & finally launch my website. I've tried to set up my website multiple times before but never managed to finish it. Happy that I got to finish it this time & share the website with you folks.

That's where most of my time went in the last couple of weeks. I also consume some amazing content, excited to share it with you. So let's jump right in!

How to think for yourself by Paul Graham

I'm a huge fan of Paul Graham's writing. This article is definitely one of his best works. He talks about how you can train to think for yourself & why it's important to do so. He concludes the discussion with this line below:

Indistinguishable from magic from Packy McCormick

This article is filled with products that just feel like magic. It's a great read to discover new stuff and be blown away by the amazing work people are doing across the world. Hands down, my favourite is an app named Runway. Runway turns your text input into a video with just one click 🤯

Check out this launch video from Runway: link

Personal Website

As I mentioned before, I got to finish my personal website! I hosted the website on Ghost with the help of Gloat hosting. It cost 20 dollars per month, which is pretty expensive. But I'm happy with their service. Also hoping the website will have a higher ROI in the future.

So here's the link to my website, check it out and share your thoughts.

The bigger picture

I wrote my first blog as well and It's a small one. I wrote this from my learning while working at a startup, hope it adds some value to you.

Run

I barely managed to do any physical exercise in the past 2 weeks. To be precise, I went for a 2 km run and that's about it. I was sick for most days. I'm recovered now, so hoping to increase the number next week.

So that's about it for this week's issue. Thank you so much for reading till the end. If you have anything interesting to share, do reply to this email & let's chat! See you next week, bye-bye 👋

To infinity & beyond,
