Ask HN: Why No MySQL Weekly?

[Hooopo]

I've noticed that there are weekly newsletters like "PG Weekly," "Database Weekly," "Ruby Weekly," and "JavaScript Weekly," but there doesn't seem to be a "MySQL Weekly." This has piqued my curiosity, and I'd like to ask the community: Why do you think there isn't a dedicated "MySQL Weekly" newsletter? Is it due to a lack of interest or are there other reasons?

MySQL is a widely used relational database, and it has a vibrant user base, so I'm surprised not to see a dedicated newsletter for it.

Your opinions and ideas are greatly appreciated, and I look forward to a lively discussion on this matter. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

MySQL is popular but Oracle broadly lost the community side of it, as they seem to do with everything. I think you should start such a newsletter, but just be careful with the trademark because, again, Oracle.

Hi,

There is MySQL Newsletter https://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/newsletter/

Though I think it would be good if there are independent ones too.

Thank you very much. Although this UI is outdated and lacks a subscription option, it still exists.

Sounds like you found a niche newsletter to start :)
