iOS Dev Weekly

Published on: Friday

Curated by: Dave Verwer, Evan Dekhayser, Vicc Alexander

Sponsorship: yes

You probably know about iOS Dev Weekly, as it’s one of the oldest (2011) and the biggest newsletter (46K readers) in the community. iOS Dev Weekly has interesting “from the editor” introduction, huge news and code sections (while less attention is paid to design or business articles). Recently Dave added an option to suggest articles via a form, but still being featured there is not that easy. High five if your article ever was mentioned there!

Fun fact: Dave also built Curated, the platform which helps to send his newsletter :)

iOS Goodies

Published on: Thursday

Curated by: Marius Constantinescu

Sponsorship: yes, reach out to Marius

It’s an open-source community newsletter with sections for iOS guides, tools, design and business posts. It was founded in November 2013 by Rui Peres and Tiago Almeida. In February 2015 it became an open source and now everyone can suggest content via PR. Now iOSGoodies has more than 100 issues on GitHub and established community of contributors.

Until Thursday all suggestions stay in the repo. Then the most appropriate one will be accepted to the website and the newsletter. The good thing is a total transparency of this newsletter. You can see all submissions, add your own tool & article or ask maintainers about their decisions on your PR.

As an example, my friend added his funny AR fart app to the Tools section and got a rejection. However, maintainers publicly explained their decision, so it still felt very friendly.
