     fwiw — while I do like to spend as much time as humanly possible being visible + working with customers (as Andy can attest!) it _is_ more than just me now :)

     might have to change the sign-off a little to reflect that (even if I cringe a little bit every time I refer to myself as "CEO"...)

     — Justin, [one of the people] who runs Buttondown

     @apolaine @buttondown those are good counterpoints for sure. (Not sure I agree about Obsidian, though — they do have a team, albeit small.)

     @jarango well you could say the same about Obsidian. I actually had the opposite reaction. I really like the fact that it’s basically one person+help who are entirely focused on doing one thing well rather than a VC-fuelled startup obsessed with scale and adding “features.”

     It’s nice to be able to email Justin @buttondown and watch him implement a request straight away rather than searching for a way to co tact customer service ans getting through to an AI chatbot or a bored employee.

     @apolaine thanks. I've considered Buttondown, but the fact that it depends on one person makes me nervous.

     @apolaine @austingovella oof, that absolutely sucks. I may have to start exploring other newsletter platforms. 😞

     @jarango @austingovella oh, it’s not all of them. Just some (like the Life Strategy one). You’ll have to click through each to find out, like a game.

     @austingovella that's weird indeed. Are they not working in your email app? Or are you also having trouble in your web browser?

     @jarango for some reason, none of the links are working for me. Is that a Mailchimp issue ?
