Subscribe
Reader-first. Zero data collection. No list.
The Good Board does not run an email newsletter. It publishes a feed. The practical difference for you: you subscribe in your feed reader, and your reader checks for new entries on its own schedule. No one here holds your email address. No one here knows when, or whether, you read. The subscription relationship lives entirely on your side — the original newsletter architecture of the web, and the one that respects you most.
How it works
A feed is a machine-readable list of the work’s most recent entries — commentary, reference updates, changelog items — served as a file you can open with a feed reader. Your reader polls the feed at intervals you set, shows you what’s new, and keeps your reading private on your device or within your reader’s account. Nothing is sent to thegoodboard.ch beyond the standard HTTP request for the file.
Feed URLs
Two modern formats are available. Most readers accept either; if you’re not sure, use Atom.

If you already use a feed reader, these links hand the feed to it directly. If you don’t, any of the cards below will also work — the reader will offer to open or create an account on first use.
New to feed readers?
A feed reader is an app, like an email client, that collects updates from any source offering a feed — publications, academic blogs, news outlets, reference works, and (yes) newsletters that republish to feeds. One reader replaces the cluttered inbox of the email-based subscription era. Feedbin and Readwise Reader are web-based and a good starting point; NetNewsWire (free, on Apple platforms) is a solid native option.
Email fallback
If you strongly prefer email and have no appetite for a feed reader, you can use a service such as Kill the Newsletter (free; creates a private feed-to-email relay using an address you control). We’re not affiliated; the point is that your email stays with you.
What you’ll receive
New commentary entries as they are published; material updates to the reference articles; new glossary terms; and occasional notes from the author on the work itself. The cadence is deliberate rather than frequent.
Languages
The feed is presently English-only; feeds for German, French, Italian, and Rumantsch editions will follow as those editions grow. The landing and about pages for each language are already available from the language switcher.
For readers who prefer their professional network, the author occasionally announces new entries on LinkedIn. No list is maintained.
