I really dig your writing style! Styling point, I read mostly on mobile and there’s too much outer padding and I find the font is a touch too large

You want to remove this line from the non-www. domain as it's refreshing the page
every second :)

I love articles of this nature, it’s great to see what people use to make their lives better. 

I can also recommend miniflux as an RSS reader

The goal or target % of subscribers who have a paid subscription

In terms of the relevance of 13.37%, it's more than likely a reference
to leetspeak, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet

There’s already a ticket I believe. 

I built a noddy service that does just that with an mbox at https://sm2r.ols.wtf/

Let me know if it doesn’t work/fit your means

Yes, my understanding of transport is that it is for address => destination mapping. The destination in this case being discard

Apologies, sent this off list:

I believe you add a line like this per address to /etc/postfix/transport

git@sr.ht discard:

And reference the file as transport_maps in your main config

Fantastic blog post, I used it as the final push to finish my own albeit
it slightly clunkier: 
https://ols.wtf/blog/meta-a-blog-post-about-this-blog.html

You will have to let us know how you get on embedding comments, as I am
still in two minds whether to do this or not!

I too wrote my own mbox2rss which would be ideal for this purpose _if_ there was a programmatic way to get the mbox of a mailing list. Currently I think it requires JS (could be wrong) and is handled by a POST request which you can't make with a standard Personal Access Token. I'm not clear whether the "legacy" API or GraphQL allow downloading of the mbox either

No misunderstanding, possibly just my brevity causing confusion

This was my understanding, but what it means is that your average user doesn't need to configure their client for plain text sending as it _should_ send as multipart anyway; accessibility for non-technical appearing to be one of OP's primary concerns
