Who is Tyler Fisher?

I’m a journalist and software engineer who has worked with prominent national news organizations and solo operations just getting off the ground. I own and operate Euphonos, my personal software studio that makes Sill, a link aggregation app for Bluesky and Mastodon. You can also hire me for consulting: email tyler@euphonos.studio.

Most recently, I was the Chief Technology Officer at The 19th, an independent, nonprofit newsroom reporting on gender, politics and policy. Previously, I was a software engineer at the Washington Post, where I worked on election results infrastructure. I was deputy director at News Catalyst and the director of technology at the Tiny News Collective. I also used to work at Politico and NPR, building election results reporting systems, bespoke visual stories, and newsroom tooling.

How’d you build this thing?

I wrote a whole blog post about it! And the repo is open source! But here’s the short of it: this is an Astro site hosted on Netlify. I manage content in Decap CMS, and I manage media assets in Cloudinary. My newsletter is published via Buttondown.

There’s a newsletter. Should I subscribe?

Yeah, if you want! I send all of my posts as individual newsletters as soon as they’re published. Right now, there’s no difference between posts on the site and what will go in the newsletter. Who knows, maybe that’ll change? Fair warning though, my topics and frequency are going to vary wildly. Don’t sign up expecting a weekly developer blog.

What about RSS?

Got that too. Click here.
