   Ok the latest idea I am kicking around re finding a Substack alternative: a website built with @eleventy or WordPress, with email subscription via @buttondown API. I saw something like this at Robin Rendle’s site @fonts. He hosts a newsletter called The Cascade (https://robinrendle.com/the-cascade/), which is hosted on his site and then sent out via email using Buttondown. I don’t yet know if that is automated (site -> BD via api) or a manual copy and paste job?

     @jay @eleventy @buttondown That’s exactly what I want to do. Have you per chance written up how you built that?

     @ricmac my current method for https://fudge.org is using @eleventy (on Netlify) with RSS to email and email delivery via @buttondown

     @ricmac @jay @eleventy Great read. If you ever want to cross-publish a 11ty + Buttondown tutorial on our blog, let me know ;)

     It's tempting to imagine an 11ty-specific plugin for Buttondown, but I don't think at actually adds anything useful. RSS is such a good cross-platform bridge — it's a high bar to beat.
