*Not least of which: Hacker Noon's new Open Trello Roadmap for Writers. This content was originally published in the form of a newsletter to Hacker Noon's global community of over 12k contributing writers. To join that list, get published on Hacker Noon.

Hey there, Hacker 👋

You're receiving this email because at some point between now and Independence Day, you wrote and published a story on Hacker Noon.

For that, both our whole team and a better internet at large is grateful for your contribution!

We thought it best to start Thanking You — our global network of 12k+ contributors — with this new monthly email, designed to better connect our writing community, particularly in these certifiably batshit times.

We hope you'll hit reply and let us know what would make this email really valuable to you every month. Until you do, we hope you enjoy Hacker Noon's first new and super exclusive contributor newsletter.
