Bye-bye, 2020! What did I learn from doing "The OTT Changelog" for one year? What will change in 2021?

  • It requires stern discipline to maintain this service.

    • I tried being smart by using Puppeteer to automate this service. My Puppeteer script checks what's new (by checking websites, RSS feeds, and more), BUT I still need to review the "fetched resources". In other words: the curation drains time and energy.
    • I need to look into ways to automate the curation step.

  • It's tough to know what the reader's specific OTT interest is. Some readers might be interested in relevant browser updates, others might be interest in changes to technical specifications. I try to make this service as holistic as possible, but I still feel like I'm leaving some things out.

    • Let me know if you know what it is!

  • I don't feel like I have the time (/willingness) to promote this specific service. I need to improve the surrounding framework to "bring it to the next level".

Moving forward, I will stop doing "The OTT Changelog" (on a weekly basis). Instead, I'll A) look into doing it on a monthly basis (and with less "sources"|), or B) try to further automate my script. I haven't decided.

I have merged the existing articles into https://ottball.com/ott-changelog/.
