I have been using Craft to run my newsletter, Tedium (https://tedium.co https://tedium.co), since the start of 2019. I moved from Ghost, which at the time was not really designed for newsletters at all. I find Craft an amazing tool when I want to add new things—a big difference from Ghost, where everything is just kind of set for you and you have to rely on external integrations to expand functionality. I custom-code my emails and integrate design directly into the email, so that eventually became a nonstarter for me. Just as an example, I handle sponsorships by creating a category and adding it to my workflow. My email templates are designed using MJML—and I can create secondary views that allow me to view the completed template and copy the raw code of the email into the newsletter platform of my choice. (I could even run the newsletter soup to nuts via plugins, though I prefer to pay someone for that right for support reasons.) The plugin ecosystem is relatively strong, but I will point out that some of the plugins are paid—and at least one has gone commercial after previously being open-source. I did a lot of research into CMS platforms (static site, monolithic, flat file, and so on) that I felt could get me to this point where I could have a CMS that simplified the production process of building a twice-weekly email, and Craft got me closest. So I’m happy to see Craft continue to evolve. It’s a great tool and I recommend it highly.
