Revue Getting Shut down

Revue makes it easy for journalists, writers and creators to send a newsletter — and make money with it.

It was built for people who publish, whether it’s a one-person operation or a whole organization. We know how much work goes into creating great newsletters, and we can help yours reach a loyal audience and grow indefinitely.

But now it's getting shut down for some reason from January 12, 2023, you won't be able to access your Revue account. All the data will be deleted.

We don't know why it's getting shut down as Revue is a product by Twitter. And since Elon Musk completed his $44 billion takeover of Twitter. I guess It's all part of his plan.

You can export all of your data including your subscriber list, past newsletter issues, and analytics by following the instructions here after logging into your account.

If you are using Revue like me then we have to migrate to some other places. You can share your thoughts on this in the comment section. I'll see you in the next one.

Nope, Everything will be gone by soon. Elon Musk is Thanos right now, he's just making things disappear with a single snap.

BTW paid newsletter, on December 20, 2022 they will set all paid subscriptions to cancel at the end of their billing cycle. So that subscribers won't be charged.

@nickytonline wrote an app to help writes grab their newsletters via the Revue api. Link in this article.

That is very useful tool as it returns the HTML of your newsletter.

I've moved to Buttondown, which offers an import service and is generally very nice so far.

Buttondown looks super cool. Good to hear there are good alternatives to Revue out there

Has there been any statement about why they're shutting it down (other than Elon doing Elon things)? Can't seem to find anything other than the press release about it
