ljinkai/weekly

This repository is an archive of a Chinese-language weekly newsletter focused on independent software products and how their creators are earning money from them. A new issue is published every Friday. The content is aimed at solo developers and small teams who want to learn how real products are built and monetized, with concrete revenue figures included for each featured project. Each issue spotlights one or more real-world products: browser extensions, SaaS tools, AI applications, Shopify plugins, email newsletters, resume builders, and many other digital products. The write-ups typically include how much the product earns (monthly or annually in US dollars), how long it took to build, and the core idea behind it. For example, past issues have covered a browser screenshot extension earning $12,000 per month, a logo maker earning $12 million per year, and a Shopify plugin built by a 25-year-old after failing three times. The archive in this repository goes back to 2022 and as of late 2024 had reached issue 154. Issues are organized by year and month, with each one stored as a Markdown file linked from the main README index. The newsletter also advertises a paid training program (linked in the README) for people who want to build and sell their own small products. Submissions and self-nominations from product creators are accepted through the GitHub issues tab. All content is written in Chinese. The repository itself contains no code, only the newsletter archive.
