Yeah I don’t mind this syntax 👌

Yeah I guess that also works! Too verbose for my taste though 😄. You’re not alone—someone else brought it up on _the other site_.

re: `protected` methods—there’s usually so few of them you can see the access modifier immediately anyway. But I’d consider them an edge case.

Oh no! Does it happen upon submitting the form, or when attempting to confirm the subscription?

Thanks for reading! Phoenix contexts are interesting. While they make it obvious where to put things, my opinion is in the end they’re unnecessary overhead in an object oriented codebase. They’re well suited for FP though. Might write more about that in the future. Good topic!

Mil gracias Julia! 😄

Thanks Stephan! Yeah I’ll probably add that soon. This is the reason I’ve avoided it:

Wild! I actually did not know about this. And here I am reinventing the wheel. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve just added a mailing list form if you’re interested! Check out part 2 (just posted), it’s at the bottom of the post. Thanks for reading!

Right! I’d actually suggest putting it in models (even if more than one) over using service objects. But we’ll get to that further in the series.

I just published what that might look like in part 2. Thanks for reading!

RSS is a great idea, thanks Rosa!

I just wired up buttondown for a mailing list. Check out part 2 (just posted) if you’d like to sign up 😄

The reason I’ve avoided RSS/email before is I don’t want to make sure things look good there before posting 😅. But I might just link to my site instead.

Of course! That’s why I tried the service initially. No worries about what happened way back when. It was years ago. Just wired things up again and it seems to be working beautifully. Appreciate you offering!

Nice!

I did try buttondown once but got turned off from it when my single test email landed in spam. I’ll give it another chance though. I probably just caught a temporary bug. Nbd.

Really just looking for something that’ll let me turn off open rate tracking and won’t sell my subscriber’s data.

Thanks a bunch Zack!

I really need to get on that 😅. Really I’m just avoiding having to choose a privacy-conscious mailing list provider. I don’t know of any offhand and researching seems like super dull work.

Right! Choosing between those `_at` columns and a model would be a great topic for one of these. Same goes for the many-to-many relationships. I’ll keep those in mind!

Thanks Chris! I’m really excited about this 💪
