Gunter:

I think the link descriptions/lengths are fine. If you’re regularly discussing/reviewing new tools – perhaps you could have a central repository/site that you can reference with all the tools you’ve reviewed and maybe categorized too…. since they date quickly and finding tools is often difficult (and they date quickly).

Me:

Hm, i really like your idea of having a central repository/site with links to everything I’ve referenced in any tl;dr sec newsletter. Definitely tools, but maybe even blog posts, talks, etc too. I’ve found for my own use there have been a couple of cases where I want to find a tool or article I linked in one of the newsletters but I forget which one so I have to click through several editions until I find it.

Represent all snippets as JSON - content as Markdown, + attributes like if it’s a Tweet, article, blog post, tool, etc.

  • Source (where I found it)
  • Company
  • Arbitrary tags
  • Allow full text search, and filter based on these options

Could re-use much of this UI for conference search.

Start Here page

  • Update copy on banner
  • Choose a better banner image

Newsletter page

  • dnichols text - stop making it so good, have to keep coming back to it.
  • Tejas ppa email - always learn something

MailChimp

  • Create a customized Email Campaign Archive page
    • Go to the [Audience page] (https://us18.admin.mailchimp.com/audience/), then click the “Manage Audience” button and select “Signup Forms”.
    • Select “Form builder” then in the dropdown select “Campaign Archive page” under the “Other Bits” section header.
    • https://mailchimp.com/help/add-an-email-campaign-archive-to-your-website/
  • Create a custom landing page for the newsletter?
    • Or just flesh out the /newsletter page more with testimonials, show social proof via conference talks etc.

Misc from GitHub Issues

  • Consider adding Mixpanel to the overall template
    • Indicative is a Mixpanel alternative that may be cheaper for our use
      • Customer Analytics for Everyone - Indicative is the only customer analytics platform for product managers, marketers, and data analysts that connects directly to your data warehouse.
    • Could give us some useful users analytics in terms of how people navigate our site.
    • Not pressing (if we ever do this), Google Analytics gives a fair amount of detail (which I normally don’t regularly look at anyway at this point).
  • Add cards promoting security lint’s features to its marketing site
    • securitylint.com or securitylint.io
    • https://github.com/PracticalProgramAnalysis/security_lint/commit/d67cb63883ad15549cd1183da979c80b4a78e3f8

Research page:

  • Add “Research we’ve overseen” - Singularity, Dan Hastings, Tracy, Vikas
  • Embed positive tweets people have had about about the various talks I’ve given
  • Add summary blurbs for “Analyzing Security Trends Across 100 Companies”
  • Add summary blurbs for “Miscellaneous Talks”
  • Add PDF links for academic papers
  • Add blurb at the top of the page that quickly summarizes all of the different series of works and links to them.

  • Add media coverage for GitPwnd, media coverage for 100 companies summary (Eduard Kovacs)

  • Create an About Us page with both of our bios and info, links to personal sites
  • Create Masthead navigation links
