I’ve decided to iterate on the approach to The Itinerant Weekly. The goal is to continue bringing you access to the most interesting articles about topics you should be smart on while leaving more time for original authorship.

We’ll test this out for a few months and see how it goes.

The Itinerant Weekly is available on Diamond, Mirror.xyz, Medium and now Paragraph.xyz, and at www.theitinerant.io.
