TL:DR Has someone thought about/tried to build a mailing list based on your DEV/Forem feed?
More context:
Email (with mailing-list) is, while clearly tricky, perhaps the most underrated way of spreading your content to your audience. Which sounds like a better long-term strategy than feeding Twitter, Facebook's and other asocial media's need for more data, and hoping they never change their algorithms.
https://substack.com has gotten lots of traction by doing this right.

But in fact this is also a blog, automatically built when you add content, and that you can read at https://whattocook.substack.com/archive
Forem is primarily a blog but maybe there is a way to build a mailing-list around the content you produce?
Thoughts?

I'm not sure to understand.
The feed of what you produce is available here
https://dev.to/feed/[username]So here is mine
dev.to/feed/ccoveille
Here is yours
dev.to/feed/jmfayard
So then, any software that allow to transform an rss feed newsletter is OK, no ?
Did I miss something ?
mailchimp.com/fr/features/rss-to-e...
mailerlite.com/features/rss-to-email
I just googled them, i didn't test them.
Hello, it's probably me who miss something.I never used a mailing-list software. If everything works well via RSS 2 (mailchimp|mailerlite|...) then that solves my issue.
Thanks for the links!
I'm happy it solves your issue.
