If you were going to start a newsletter today, what service would you look at to help manage it?
@thomasreggi That's the direction I'm leaning, just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing.
@lindsaykwardell im also curious as well if there's anything else out there, back when i was at twitter i was bullish on their substack clone because it shows posts in your profile, but not recommending that anymore
@thomasreggi @lindsaykwardell I see people saying they would never use substack because it tolerates so many bigots. but I don't know of any good alternative.
@lindsaykwardell I'd personally go with bearblog.dev but I think the correct answer depends heavily on your goals and your audience. I've heard good things about write.as as well.

@culi @lindsaykwardell yes i recommend write.as i forgot they do newsletters!
@lindsaykwardell I just moved Elm Weekly over from Revue (Twitter) to Substack.
For me it was partially cost. I don't run the newsletter to make money and most services have a cost when you get to around 5k+ emails per month. I send out roughly 10k-13k emails per month.
I've also heard ok things about Buttondown, but I've not used it myself.
If you'd like to see how Substack works from the publisher side I'd be happy to give you a tour.
