@csaba_kissi Hey Csaba! There's no support for autoresponding and general automation yet, but it's definitely on the table for future development. What level of configuration would you be hoping for?

@ianmikutel Great question! From an implementation perspective: getting per-email analytics sussed out was/is a weird little misadventure, due to some quirks with Mailgun (which we use for the raw email delivery). From a design perspective: nailing drafts (which now work kind of similarly to Twitter's: you manually save a draft and can resume it at any time) took a couple iterations. Originally, they were automatically saved, which was great for some workflows but some testers *hated* it. (@jedmund was the one who originally proposed the prompt for the latest draft, which I really think brought the whole thing together.)

Review Buttondown?

Reviewers describe Buttondown as a clean, markdown-first newsletter tool that feels easier to use than bloated email platforms while offering more capability than stripped-down alternatives. They repeatedly praise the simple UI, fast setup, and smooth handling of drafts, subscribers, and sending. Several highlight responsive, helpful support and steady product updates. Specific features users value include a programmable API, custom domains, opt-out analytics, and signup categories. The feedback here is notably one-sided: users especially like it for personal and tech-focused newsletters.
