Adding share buttons directly to the newsletter email. To hopefully get organic growth.
The problem is, bots sign up to your newsletter. Weirdly click EVERY single URL in the newsletter.
It's hard to know how many people shared. I made an API endpoint on the site, which uses Cloudflare to force a hard check of that share URL. That way, only after it passes, I record in analytics and redirect to the share URL.

I scheduled amazing URLs for the next month! So much cool shit out there in the world. The old internet is still alive and kicking.

I added a fetch button to the admin so I can have an LLM pull title, description, tags, etc., for me when adding links.
I find myself deleting and tweaking a lot of it. But faster than starting from zero and doing it all myself.
