Liulian Weekly is a bilingual newsletter maintained by Liulian, a software engineer who reverse-engineers AI content workflows. It records experiments that were actually run, useful tools, open-source projects, and practical workflow decisions. It does not publish generic tool lists or turn one success into a promise of repeatable virality.

The first issue was published on August 31, 2026. Issue numbers start at 1 and are never reordered or reused.

## What an issue looks like

Each issue opens with a cover and a short weekly summary, then moves through experiments, tools, open source, reading, and notes. Recommendations link to their primary source whenever possible. Experimental numbers include their observation date and limits.

## Bilingual by issue number

Every Chinese issue has a matching English edition under the same issue number: Chinese at `/posts/1`, English at `/en/posts/1`. Translations favour accuracy and readability while preserving product names.
