Especially awesome to get emails about a new version of an app you tried for 5 minutes 10 years ago and neither the name of the app nor the email subject or body gives even the slightest hint what the fuck that app does

  Please, I beg, if you're posting about a new release of the cool thing you made, include a small description of what it is and what it does. It's hard to boost "libencarbulator turbo++ 2.8a release is now available! Now supports configuring reticulation of splines" in a vacuum, and I want nothing more than to boost the cool thing you made

  Sending emails about updates can be great!
  But:
  1. Do not send incomprehensible emails to cold lists
  2. If possible, remove people from your email list when they haven’t interacted with you in years
  3. Unless you’re Coca-Cola, in any email you send there should be a one-liner to describe what your app or business does

  @thomasfuchs not email, but I think @flydotio 's blog does an excellent job at this. There's a header in every entry that says something like "Hi, we're Fly and we do <thing>. We use <subject of blog post> to do <other thing>, read about it!"
