    <summary>A rebuilt drag-and-drop editor with reusable blocks, brand presets, and instant mobile previews for every newsletter you send.</summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Building a newsletter should feel closer to arranging slides than to fighting HTML tables. Version 2.0 of the visual campaign builder replaces the old single-column editor with a block canvas that renders exactly what your subscribers receive.</p><h2>Reusable blocks</h2><p>Save any section — a sponsor slot, a changelog list, a footer with legal copy — as a reusable block. Update the block once and every future campaign inherits the change, so your team stops copying markup between drafts.</p><h2>Brand presets</h2><p>Typography, spacing, button radius, and palette now live in a preset attached to your workspace. New campaigns open on-brand, and a single preset edit restyles the whole library.</p><ul><li>Live desktop, mobile, and plain-text previews side by side</li><li>Keyboard-driven block insertion and reordering</li><li>Accessibility hints for contrast and alt text before you send</li></ul><p>The builder is available on every plan today. Existing drafts keep working and can be upgraded to blocks one section at a time.</p>]]></content>

    <summary>Pick one publish moment and let Email Operator deliver it in each subscriber's local morning, with full control over throttling and quiet hours.</summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>A global list means there is no single good send time. Smart scheduling lets you choose the experience — 8:00 local time, for example — and we stagger delivery so every reader gets it during their own morning.</p><h2>Quiet hours and throttling</h2><p>Set quiet hours per segment so campaigns never land overnight, and cap hourly volume to protect sending reputation on large lists. Throttled batches respect your provider's rate limits automatically.</p><h2>Sequences without a separate tool</h2><p>Welcome flows, onboarding drips, and re-engagement series are configured next to your one-off campaigns, sharing the same templates, audiences, and analytics.</p><ul><li>Per-segment quiet hours</li><li>Hourly volume caps with automatic backoff</li><li>Pause, resume, and reschedule a running send</li></ul>]]></content>

    <summary>The monitoring dashboard now streams engagement as it happens and attributes conversions back to the exact link that earned them.</summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Waiting a day for campaign numbers makes it impossible to react. The monitoring dashboard now updates continuously, so you can watch a send land and catch problems in the first minutes rather than the next morning.</p><h2>Link-level attribution</h2><p>Every tracked link reports clicks, downstream conversions, and revenue. Compare a header CTA against an inline mention and you learn where attention actually converts.</p><h2>Deliverability health</h2><p>Bounce classes, spam complaints, and domain-level inbox placement sit alongside engagement, so a reputation issue surfaces before it costs you a list.</p>]]></content>

    <summary>How engineering-led teams grow a newsletter without a marketing department: positioning, cadence, and the two metrics that matter.</summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Technical teams often publish irregularly, apologise for the gap, and lose the list. Growth comes from a cadence you can sustain in your worst week, not your best one.</p><h2>Pick a promise, not a topic</h2><p>&quot;Weekly notes on running Postgres at scale&quot; outperforms &quot;our company newsletter&quot; because a reader can predict the value of opening it. Write the promise in the signup form and honour it in every issue.</p><h2>Two metrics</h2><ul><li>Reply rate — the cheapest signal that people actually read the issue</li><li>Retained opens at week 12 — whether the promise still holds after the novelty fades</li></ul><p>Open rate alone rewards subject-line tricks; both of these reward substance. Track them per issue and let the trend, not a single spike, drive your editorial decisions.</p>]]></content>

    <summary>SPF, DKIM, DMARC, list hygiene, and the warm-up plan that keeps campaigns out of the promotions tab.</summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Most inbox problems are configuration problems. Work through this list once per domain and revisit it whenever you change sending infrastructure.</p><h2>Authenticate the domain</h2><ul><li>SPF record listing every service that sends on your behalf</li><li>DKIM signing enabled with a rotated 2048-bit key</li><li>DMARC starting at p=none, then tightened once reports are clean</li></ul><h2>Keep the list clean</h2><p>Remove hard bounces immediately, sunset subscribers who have not opened in six months, and never import a purchased list. A smaller engaged list reaches more inboxes than a large stale one.</p><h2>Warm up new domains</h2><p>Start at a few hundred sends per day to your most engaged segment and double roughly every three days while bounce and complaint rates stay low.</p>]]></content>
