I'm the solo founder of Small Talk. Since starting it as a newsletter for my colleagues in 2011, over the years it's been something of a 'toy train set in the basement', which I've worked on weekends while running another startup (since exited), and working in the corporate world.
I found Small Talk to be an important creative outlet for me over the years - I do the content for the week every Sunday, as a collation of everything interesting that I've read and learned the week before.
It's amazing to see the response it has gotten, and now, after many years, I've decided to go full time on the project and give it the attention it deserves!
Over the next 12 months, you can expect a ton of user-feedback driven changes and UX enhancements, finally elevating Small Talk out of the basement and into the public eye.
