The Notes started as a way for me to make sense of all the things happening in the web API space. Every week there seemed to be a new tool or technique. There was a constant challenge to put things in context. Turns out that plenty of other people have the same challenge. So I began sharing my notes and, fast forward a half decade and a few hundred editions later, we’re still clarifying thoughts and pressure-checking assumptions.

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox. I usually publish between 3-4 newsletters per month, sometime between Tuesday and Thursday. I’d like to say the unpredictability is because I’m too punk rock for THE MAN’s habit-forming growth-hack (also known as consistency). In reality, I’m a father of four, and this isn’t my job.
