Donating forks and an SMS-powered blog

Hello friends!

It’s been a while since the last one of these emails — almost a year, to be exact. But let's get into it.

Here’s what I’ve gotten up to in the past month:

  • I had a post on donating forks to the Tufts dining hall that did really well on Hacker News
    • The funny part is, it was a work-in-progress version of my website that wasn't even released yet — the person who posted it found the pull request and posted a preview URL. (But thank you to them!)
  • Jerome posted an old blog post of mine on Hacker News which also did surprisingly well.
  • I shared about an SMS-powered blog that I built for a friend who's working in the woods this summer.

If you missed it:

  • In March, Jerome and I won the Tufts hackathon! We built a "Spotify Wrapped for your meal plan".

Coming up:

  • I'm heading to New York City in a few weeks to intern at Notion! Very excited about that.

Next time, I won't wait a year to send my monthly newsletter.

Hope you're doing well,

Ben
