Newsletter Integration

  • Added SavvyMonk newsletter section to the README, displaying the latest issues via Beehiiv RSS feed.
  • Updated the blog-post-workflow.yml to pull from the correct Beehiiv feed URL (rss.beehiiv.com/feeds/nx1n9qTLoA.xml) with the updated newsletter name.

Funding / Sponsorship

  • Added .github/FUNDING.yml to enable GitHub Sponsors and other funding links on the profile.
