Stratechery
Several times a week
by Ben Thompson
The reference point for tech strategy analysis — how platforms, aggregators, and business models actually work. The free weekly article alone earns its slot.
The best technology newsletters
Tech writing has quietly moved from blogs and magazines into newsletters — the sharpest analysis of strategy, engineering culture, and AI now lands in inboxes first. These are the ones that consistently reward the time they ask for, especially at e-ink pace, where a 3,000-word analysis reads like a chapter instead of a chore.
The Pragmatic Engineer
Weekly

Deeply reported looks inside how big tech and startups build software — engineering culture, compensation, and what really happened behind industry events.
Platformer
Most weeknights
by Casey Newton
Reporting and analysis where tech platforms meet power: content moderation, AI labs, and the people making the decisions.
Benedict’s Newsletter
Weekly
by Benedict Evans

One Useful Thing
Roughly weekly
by Ethan Mollick

Twice a week
by Alex Kantrowitz

TLDR
Daily

Most offer a free edition, and several have optional paid tiers with extra issues or archives. Paid newsletters work especially well with Readry, since subscriber-only posts arrive by email — exactly what Readry converts and delivers.
