Buttondown

Buttondown is the essential newsletter tool for people in tech, whether you want a programable API or (like me) just want to work in Markdown to keep the content reusable and make use of other extensive tooling options. Extremely responsive support, terrific options, extremely useable free tier. I've been using it for 3yrs (168 issues!) and I'm very happy.

What I love about Buttondown 1. I can write my emails in Markdown like i'm used to 2. The UI is simple, and I can quickly find what I need 3. The developer/owner is SUPER responsive to bug reports etc via their Discord 4. My favorite feature: I've got CATEGORIES that people can sign up to, embedded and styled on my on site caseywatts.com/newsletter

This works great for my personal newsletter. I can manage subscribers and drafts easily. My favorite features: * I can opt-out of analytics / tracking, which feels incongruent with my goals of keeping my letter personal. * I can use my personal domain to send emails, in a way helps with prevention of my email getting marked as spam.

Awesome and simple app that makes it easy to send out emails to your list. I love that fact that it is being actively developed. I've used MailChimp, then TinyLetter, but one is far too kitchen-sink, and the other is too bare bones. Buttondown is my goldilocks... just right!

This newsletter solution is uncluttered and works! I've used it for over a year now, writing in markdown and pushing it out to my readership. Should you need it, support is kind, quick, and always willing to help.

Buttondown is a quick-to-use markdown-first Newsletter provider that's perfect for my personal newsletter. Since Justin works on it fulltime, there are new features being released constantly and the care / service he provides is outstanding!
