Dear Reader,

Our team has been quietly working behind the scenes to upgrade our site for the first time since 2019 — and I’m excited to give you a first look.

Thanks to those of you who signed up as our beta testers over the summer. Your feedback has helped us declutter our site and highlight what matters the most to you!

To help ensure a smooth transition, we will send next week’s newsletters from both our old and new systems, so you should receive them twice. If you don’t see the newsletters from our new system, check your spam or promotions folder and drag the email into your primary inbox.

More changes will roll out over the coming weeks. Reader, we hope you like what you see, and, as always, if you have thoughts, we want to hear them. Please reply to this email if you notice any bugs or have suggestions for what else we can do. 

Best regards,
Alex Ip
Publisher and Editor
