I’m excited to announce Dew Submitter, a new web application that makes it easy for my readers to suggest links and RSS feeds for inclusion on The Morning Dew. Whether you’ve found a great article, discovered a new blog, or spotted a podcast episode worth sharing, you can now submit it directly through the web at submit.alvinashcraft.com.
For almost nineteen years, The Morning Dew has been curated entirely by me, which means I’ve had to personally find every link and manage every RSS feed. While I enjoy the work, I know there’s a ton of fantastic content out there that I might miss. Dew Submitter lets the community help. If you come across a blog post, tutorial, release announcement, or screencasts about .NET, Azure, AI, web development, or other tech topics that would be a good fit for my daily roundup, you can now suggest them instantly. Similarly, if you know of a great RSS feed covering software development topics, you can submit feed suggestions to help me discover new sources.
Dew Submitter is built as a Blazor WebAssembly app hosted on Azure Static Web Apps, with an Azure Functions API backend and Table Storage for data persistence. The submission form includes built-in spam protection, auto-detection of page titles and authors, and an admin panel where I can approve, reject, or process your submissions. Sorry, not every suggested link gets included – I still get the final say. I’ve also integrated NewsBlur support so approved RSS feeds can be added directly to my NewBlur list with a single click.
Thanks for continuing to support and read The Morning Dew. Now, head over to submit.alvinashcraft.com and help me discover more great content!
