About

I made this.

A weekly newsletter of the best things people make, and the stories behind them.

What it is

People are making amazing things right now.

One person can build what used to take a whole team.

Most of it never gets seen.

Every week, I Made This picks the best and tells the story of how and why each one was made.

Made something you’re proud of? Show us.

If it’s digital and you made it, it counts.

1. Show us what you made: the basics, three short answers (what, why and how), the tools you used and a few pictures. About 10 minutes.
2. We read every one. No votes and no leaderboard. No paying to get in, and a pick can’t be bought.
3. If we pick yours, we email you, and it goes into a future edition.
