Write once. Publish everywhere.

Buttondown can slurp up your RSS feed and either automatically send out emails or create drafts.

Buttondown has full two-way RSS support. What does that mean for you?

First, every newsletter has an RSS feed. As you post, people can follow your feed. Easy.

But we also operate in the other direction. Do you have an RSS feed that you want to turn into a newsletter? Buttondown can turn your RSS feed into automatic emails or drafts. Gone are the days of copy-and-pasting your blog posts into your newsletter client.

  1. Input your RSS feed.
  2. Choose your cadence: once a week, once a month, or whenever you publish.
  3. Choose your behavior: either send out emails or create drafts for later review.

Want to send your blog posts to a specific list or tag? Buttondown can handle that, too, making sure the right people get the right content.

What is RSS?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It’s a way for people to automatically check a bunch of blogs, news outlets, and newsletters(!) at once. Rather than going to sites one by one to see what’s changed, you compile a list of RSS feeds, and refresh all of them at the same time. You can read more about what RSS is here.

The internet's enduring spaces, free from central ownership, are RSS and email. These technologies prompted my switch, betting on the most basic, reliable forms of digital communication. Embracing the POSSE model—Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Everywhere—resonates deeply with me.
