A new year's resolution for developers -- find someone whose product yours can interop with, say hey want to connect our products? and take yes for an answer. 💥#
A lot of people feel a sense of possibility at the end of 2022 that wasn't there just a few months ago. But feeling the possibility is a long way from achieving anything from that feeling. #
I've made a point of reaching out to old friends in the last few weeks to see if we can work together on any projects. #
So far most people are still wary of working with others, it seems. #
It's the only way we avoid falling back into the same morass. #
The one exception is Automattic. In the last few weeks we've collaborated on two projects. One to connect FeedLand and WordPress via rssCloud and to get their RSS reader cool with titleless feed items. They are an amazing company. Very often when I knock on the door they say yes. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
