FullStack Bulletin 2017-2026
Was the self-proclaimed most awesome weekly newsletter about fullstack web development.
For almost a decade, every single week, we curated the best articles, tutorials, and resources for fullstack developers and delivered them straight to your inbox. No fluff, no spam. Just seven carefully selected links, a book recommendation, and an inspirational tech quote.
FullStack Bulletin was born out of a simple idea: two friends, Luciano and Andrea, who were passionate about web development and wanted to share the best stuff they found online. What started as a weekend project turned into a beloved weekly ritual for thousands of developers around the world.
This chapter is now closed, but the archive lives on. Thank you for being part of this journey.
Why we closed
FullStack Bulletin was always a passion project. Every week for nearly a decade, we spent our evenings and weekends scouring the web, reviewing articles, fine-tuning our ranking algorithm, and assembling each issue by hand. We loved every minute of it. Well, most minutes.
But life has a way of shifting priorities. Our families grew, our work responsibilities increased, and we kept picking up new passions and side projects. The time we could dedicate to the newsletter kept shrinking. We did have sponsors over the years (and we are grateful to all of them!), but we never managed to monetize the project enough to cover all the expenses and the time we invested on it. It was never sustainable, and at some point we had to be honest with ourselves about that.
In the end, we decided it was better to close on a high note than to let the newsletter slowly fade away. We're proud of what we built, and we hope it served you well.
Luciano wrote a more detailed reflection on the journey. You can read the full blog post here.
The archive
Every single issue we ever published is still available. That's 459 issues you can browse, search, and read, with full-text search powered by Pagefind.
Take a trip down memory lane: revisit what tech was hot a few years back, see how the web evolved over the years, rediscover the trends that shaped frontend and backend development. You might even find some hidden gems that are still relevant today.
Nerd corner: take the data with you
We've made the entire archive available as structured data. Download it, query it, build something cool with it. You could even load the Parquet file into DuckDB and run SQL queries against almost a decade of fullstack web development trends.
Let's not stop the fullstack love
Always keep learning and staying inspired.
There's no replacing FullStack Bulletin. It was unique in its own way. But that doesn't mean the world isn't still full of beautiful places and people that you can learn from and be inspired by.
Many of these are the same resources from which we drew inspiration for our newsletter and often a direct source of the content we proposed every week. They are all worth your time.
