Two newsletters live here, and they do different things.
This&That is a monthly curation. Things I found interesting enough to share. A paper, a tool, a film, a piece of writing, an idea sitting in an unlikely place. No theme, no niche, no editorial agenda. Just things that caught my attention and seemed worth passing on.
Ways of Working is a conversation series. I talk with people who make things, products, businesses, communities, ideas, and ask them how they actually think and work. What goes into a decision, what they got wrong, what they’d do differently.
Who I am
I’m Hiran Venugopalan, a product designer and maker based in Bengaluru. Design and FOSS have been at the centre of the work since 2006, building products, making fonts, and running communities along the way. Still at it. More at hiran.in.
What to expect
This & That goes out once a month. Ways of Working runs alongside it regularly, so you can expect two to three issues a month in total. Both are free. Neither will be daily. If something resonates, write back.
