As many of you probably know, I’ve been writing a weekly newsletter called Web Tools Weekly for over a year now. Most issues begin with a brief JavaScript tutorial, after which I include a curated list of tools primarily focused on front-end development. I’ve released a new issue every week, without a break, since July 2013 and I use MailChimp to produce the mailing (disclosure: previous link has my affiliate ID attached, which means we both get $30 towards MailChimp if you become a paying customer).

The subscriber count has grown to almost 10,000 as of this writing, and that number is growing by about 70 each week. For the past couple of months, I’ve been displaying the subscriber count on the home page, and manually editing it every once in a while.
