[FEATURE] Random snippet of the day

[dimabory]

I'd like to return random snippets feature to the site.

Why it was deleted?

[flxwu]

Hey @dimabory , glad to hear that! We removed it because it gained relatively low traction.

Heh, I liked to see and learn random snippets every day in the morning.

Maybe we could dedicate a page to this, but without the annoying carousel and all the issues we previously had with that.

[flxwu]

We could also launch a newsletter?

[dimabory]

I also thought about the separate page for this. But anyway a newsletter is a good idea too.

We could launch a separate newsletter on PH to boost the 30secs projects, kind of what I thought of doing on twitter but latter currently won't work till they approve my developer account @Chalarangelo

I'm a little confused on how we'd get enough material unless we wanted to start targeting or writing articles or small thoughts(which get tricky and would likely need to be stockpiled before first publication for editing and accuracy). I'm all for it TBH, but it is a bit of logistics to be able to say we're doing things right

[Chalarangelo]

A newsletter could get out of hand quite quickly and, quite frankly, I don't think we are prepared for that kind of thing. A random snippet of the day could be added as a page on the website and we will see what else we can do to deliver content to people over time.

Newsletters, if we ever decide to launch them, will have to be monthly or less frequent and we will have to hand-pick content, write articles and suggest tools and other things targeted at people learning JS. This is definitely tricky and requires a lot of time and effort on our part, so let's not be hasty about it yet.

Or a twitter bot ?

[Chalarangelo]

@meetzaveri I think @flxwu is up to something on Twitter... We'll probably find out soon enough.

[meetzaveri]

Okay, good to know.

[dimabory]

Btw, I can help with Telegram bot.

Yes, I am working on the Twitter Bot.

[flxwu]

Closing this for now, as the @30-seconds/core team decided not to launch a separate newsletter. We'll instead launch a Twitter Bot somewhen soon.

We're present on Instagram and Facebook as well. Sharing useful snippets daily!
