Get notified when
something ships.
Occasional updates — only when a new capsule, framework, or major version is released. Pick the channel that fits how you already read things. No tracking, no cookies set on this site by any of these options.
Pick how you
want to hear about it.
All three are real. Pick whichever matches how you already read things. The newsletter is the easiest if you don't have a habit; RSS is the most respectful of your inbox; GitHub watch is the most precise.
Email newsletter
An occasional email when a new capsule or major framework version ships. Hosted by Buttondown — they confirm your address, store it for the sole purpose of sending you these updates, and offer one-click unsubscribe in every message.
RSS / Atom feed
The classic, lightest-touch option. Paste https://vertexlensx.com/feed.xml into any reader (NetNewsWire, Feedly, Inoreader, Reeder, Thunderbird) — most readers will also auto-discover the feed from any SHIVA page. No signup, no email, no data shared with this site.
Watch the repo
If you already use GitHub, click Watch → Custom → Releases on the SHIVA repository. GitHub will email you on every tagged release without any further configuration. Best signal-to-noise if you only care about shipped versions, not in-progress commits.
If none of those work, just email.
If you'd rather not sign up to a newsletter platform but also don't use RSS or GitHub, send me a short email with the subject [SUBSCRIBE] and I'll add you to a small hand-maintained list. Same cadence as the newsletter, just routed through my inbox instead of Buttondown.
What gets stored, where.
Newsletter: your email is stored by Buttondown for the sole purpose of sending you updates. They don't sell or share lists. RSS: nothing stored — your reader pulls /feed.xml on its own schedule. GitHub watch: stored by GitHub under their privacy policy. Manual mailto: your email lives in my inbox and a small text file on my drive. No tracking pixels in any of these.
