I was really hoping I could get by with just the free version of @platformer, but the content is just too good / thoughtful. It's like a newsletter curated to the things I care about. Hope people give it a try and support @CaseyNewton in the process.

Love this question in today's @platformer about an alternate universe where Instagram didn't sell to Facebook. Which would you choose?
(It's definitely A for me)

Just subscribed to @platformer from @CaseyNewton and couldn't be more excited to support independent journalism. I've enjoyed The Interface for a very long time and can't wait to see what is in store.

I spoke with @CaseyNewton about his leaving @verge to officially launch his independent newsletter, @platformer, and about the rise of the newsletter economy.
