This is a neat collection! Have you considered adding an RSS feed for when you put new items on the list?

Thank you! I hadn't yet thought of that because I'm new to building stuff like this by myself, but I will put it on the list of things to research/add.

One of my next steps was to add an email newsletter opt-in. May I ask whether that would fulfil the same function or do you think RSS would be better?

If the latter, I'd appreciate if you could share your thinking :)

It would work the same for me, if only because I'd redirect the email to my RSS reader (via Feedbin[0] or Kill the Newsletter[1] or similar)! I suspect most people who care about RSS would do the same, but the Webflow docs[2] show it being pretty straightforward to set up, and (imo) it's an easy backup hedge against all your comms getting stuck in spam filters. Plus, it just feels more ADHD-friendly to me to reduce ping noise as much as possible.
