Adding a newsletter subscription form to a static site seems straightforward—until you consider security implications. In this post, I'll share how I implemented a secure newsletter subscription for my MkDocs-based blog using Cloudflare Turnstile and a serverless API.
Building Finfluencers Bet is a journey, and I'm committed to documenting it openly – the technical challenges, research findings, and strategic pivots. This blog is central to that "Building in Public" approach.
Documenting this journey requires a blog that's easy to manage and integrates with my development workflow. After considering different options, I chose MkDocs with the Material theme because its focus on Markdown, static site generation, and developer experience perfectly matched my needs for the Finfluencers Bet blog.
