I automated the Newsletter to send out an email whenever I publish a new article based on my RSS feed. So people don't need to follow along on social media and can rely on the email again.

Swiss Rooftop Explorer - or how to serve a Low Cost Geo App with no maintenance The Swiss Rooftop Explorer is a cloud-native web app that retrieves Swiss building roof heights without a GIS server. Using PMTiles,...

I wrote about the Swiss Rooftop Explorer, a fun little project of mine where you can explore the heights of buildings in Switzerland, https://blog.heuel.org/2025/02/swiss-roof-explorer/. From a tech perspective, it's cool as it doesn't need any server components other than static file hosting.

Frustrated with email marketing tools? Services like Mailchimp, though initially free, can become costly. For my blog, I have developed a GitHub-based solution that automatically sends newsletters from RSS with Listmonk, an open source mailing list manager
