<p>Hello hackers!</p>
<p>Welcome to our second newsletter. This is a historical moment for the Nyxt project, we are happy to announce the release of <a href="https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/application/demeter.org">Demeter</a>: a feed reader built on top of Nyxt!</p>
<p>The team has been trying to make the project financially self-sustainable. As stated in the article <a href="https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/article/sustainable-open-source.org">Towards Open Source Sustainability</a>, the main strategy from Atlas Engineer is to keep Nyxt free by all means, but sell applications based on it.</p>
<p>Demeter has been for sale since last Friday. Currently, under a promotional price of USD 10 for a one-year license. Despite no official communication about its launch until now, three sales already happened. And counting! :)</p>
<h1 id="new-features-since-the-previous-newsletter-09212021">New features since the previous newsletter (09/21/2021)</h1>
<ul>
<li>New <code>repeat-times</code> command;</li>
<li>Command <code>define-scheme</code> has been extended;</li>
<li>Arbitrary HTML is now allowed in mode formatting;</li>
<li>We can count <a href="https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/application/demeter.org">Demeter</a> as a super upper new (paid) <em>feature</em> :)</li>
</ul>

<li>Beyond the launch of the <a href="https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/application/demeter.org">Demeter</a> feed reader, <a href="https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/article/release-2.2.1.org">Version 2.2.1</a> was also released.</li>

<p>Store. If you are a <a href="https://store.nyxt.atlas.engineer/listing/choose-your-weapon-9283?product=2">MS Notepad fan</a>, maybe you should skip it :)</p>
<h1 id="interesting-reads">Interesting reads</h1>
<ul>
<li>The team loved this article, it really captures Nyxt's ideals: <a href="https://thesephist.com/posts/browser/">The web browser as a tool of thought</a></li>
<li>The fight against fake news is a hard one and we plan to have Nyxt as an ally. Until features for that are built, we can learn from the attempt of others: <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/09/29/youtube-ban-joseph-mercola/">YouTube is banning prominent anti-vaccine activists and blocking all anti-vaccine content</a></li>
<li>Despite the kind of &quot;Business Insider&quot; title, you can learn something from the author's wise words: <a href="https://www.simplethread.com/20-things-ive-learned-in-my-20-years-as-a-software-engineer/">20 Things Ive Learned in my 20 Years as a Software Engineer</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Cheers!</p>
<p>Nyxt team</p>
