- What is the Weekly Thing?
- A weekly newsletter curated by Jamie Thingelstad. Each issue is a collection of interesting links, commentary, and observations spanning technology, culture, the indie web, and whatever else catches Jamie's eye. It's one person's lens on what's interesting — not an algorithm, not a feed, just considered curation.
- How much does it cost?
- Nothing. the Weekly Thing is free and always will be. If you'd like to go further, Supporting Members contribute to a nonprofit selected each year — but subscribing is always free.
- When does it come out?
- Most weekends, typically Saturday. Jamie takes two scheduled breaks each year: July and August (summer break) and roughly December 15 through January 15 (winter break). Outside of those breaks, it arrives weekly.
- How do I subscribe?
- Enter your email on the homepage or in any subscribe form on this site. You'll receive a confirmation email. That's it — no account needed.
- Can I read past issues?
- Yes! The full archive goes back to the very first issue in May 2017. You can also search across all issues.
- Is there an RSS feed?
- Yes. The main feed is at /feed.xml. Each individual issue also has a links feed (e.g.,
/archive/343/links.xml) that lists every link featured in that issue — useful for automation.
- What's a Supporting Member?
- Supporting Members pay a small annual fee, and 100% of that money goes to a nonprofit selected each year. Members get a gold star recognition in each issue. The newsletter itself remains completely free. Learn more on the support page.
- How long has it been running?
- Since May 2017 — over 10 years and 344 issues. Check the stats page for more numbers.
- How do I unsubscribe?
- Every issue includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click, no questions asked.
- Can I suggest a link?
- Absolutely. Just reply to any issue — replies go directly to Jamie's inbox.
- Is there a community?
- There's a subreddit at r/weeklything where links from each issue are posted and can be discussed.
