I remember TinyLetter. I never had a newsletter that was read by anyone, or ever made a community of readers like the author quotes, but it served me well the few times I needed it. It stood out amongst the hyper-commercialized alternatives.
To me, it stood as a sign for what the internet could be: a place for useful, non-commercial (or at least commerce-second) products. And this hasn’t changed. There are tons of tiny services out there that give me a similar hope.
Do you have any recommendation for a similar simple, no bells & whistles newsletter service? Something which just provides a signup form and a way to send simple emails to your audience, no need for more.

Shoot, this is a good reminder that I need to update my zine's mailing list. I'll be switching to Buttondown, definitely the spiritual successor!
Buttondown is great!
