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.
