Buttondown vs. TinyLetter

A great newsletter deserves a modern solution.

TinyLetter's been around for a long time, but let's be honest — the tool has lots of bugs and is missing the features you need to easily create a great newsletter.

I feel comfortable saying that because I literally created Buttondown because I was fed up with TinyLetter. Simple tasks like cleaning up Markdown, checking links, resizing images, and making sure the email looked right was a huge hassle. It took me away from doing the fun part: writing a great newsletter.

Buttondown solves those pain points – and more.

Kind words from happy writers

I used to use Tinyletter, but now I use Buttondown. The experience is much better.

Why Buttondown and not, say, Mailchimp or TinyLetter? One reason is that, as you’ll see in a moment, Buttondown is simple.
