Notices by Buttondown (buttondown@mastodon.social)

@rhazn if there are other things you'd find interesting, lmk!

did you know that we share every single other service we use to run Buttondown? and did you know that we published an update sharing what new stuff we started using (or stopped using) in the past year?

(well, now you do.)

Changelogs and release notes have been with us for as long as we’ve been coding (or, at least, since 1971, say Oxford’s etymologists). They’re a record of truth that lists what’s old, what’s new, and how we got here.

"Recovery days only work when they are unmovable and sacrosanct. Even if your legs feel fresh or you had an ingenious newsletter idea over breakfast, punt until tomorrow. Revel in the rest.."

"When you go viral on TikTok, you have no guarantee that your next post will be seen by a single person. None. Live by the algorithm, die by the algorithm. With a newsletter, you can estimate with reasonable certainty how many people will receive your email."

Did you know that you can now set up patronage-style paid subscriptions, so subscribers pay you each time you publish something new?

i actually just saw this error come on, and we'll make the error better!

we humbly and proudly present the newest edition in a long line of seasonal h1 tags.

@FIGBERT 🫡🫡🫡 anything we could have done to make it even easier?

@spielundzeug almost certainly, we can just do an ad-hoc rate for it. want to email concierge@buttondown.com and we'll get you wired up?

@ichris @karam on it.

@talksina Thank you so much for all the feedback!

Did you know you can customize your emails view to get any bit of data — open rate, number of page views, audience, whatever — front and center?

We've got a little tutorial here:

What's your newsletter's north star?

@hynek Yup, the issue "really" is that the default time <input> straight up does not resolve to a value until AM/PM is selected. (I really hate the default inputs, and we might have to admit defeat and roll our own.)

@talksina ah, just saw it! Replying there.
