科技爱好者周刊，每周五发布
A personal weekly newsletter by Ruan Yifeng (阮一峰), one of China's most-followed tech bloggers, published every Friday since 2018. Each issue collects links to articles, tools, and projects with short commentary, plus an opening essay on a tech or society topic. 400+ issues in, it's one of the longest-running Chinese-language tech newsletters on GitHub.
Eight years of consistent publishing without missing a week is genuinely rare — most newsletter projects die in the first year. The opening essays are often the most interesting part: Ruan writes plainly about things like AI economics, chip geopolitics, and career decisions without the breathless hype you get from Western tech media. The issue archive in Markdown makes it trivially grep-able and forkable. The free job board in the issues tab is a practical side benefit that keeps a real community active.
The repo is essentially a flat document store — no search, no tagging, no way to find 'all issues that mentioned pgvector' without grep. The English-speaking developer audience will hit a hard wall immediately since everything is in Chinese with no translation layer. The link-dump format means quality varies heavily issue to issue; some issues are meaty essays, others are thin collections of marginally interesting links. And at 94k stars, the numbers are inflated by Ruan's personal following — the star count signals his audience size, not the repo's technical merit.
