    If you need an email newsletter service I would implore you to find one that is a fixed fee. It exists. It works fine and is not a lifetime of subscriptions leading you into subscription serfdom.

    This dude Justin who created 'Buttondown' looks like a nice guy though. VEEEEERY NICE GUY.

    The web site makes a harder sell than I prefer, but it does have a lot of information. There are a lot of optional features, but the core seems to be sending email. Here’s a blog post on keeping deliverability high. There is an RSS to email feature that could be used to create draft emails from blog posts, so it could be used to add email subscriptions to a blog hosted somewhere else.

    I don’t know how it compares to other email services. I use Substack, but I haven’t posted in quite a while because I don’t really know when it’s worth sending an email.

    Pricing is here.
