pretty basic backstory: I read a biography every morning to inspire my day. My friends wanted me to create a newsletter about it. I don't know python or anything like that but managed to duct tape some plugins together on a static html page.

I used to run email marketing at Homejoy at one point so wanted to exercise those muscles before they atrophy (currently unemployed)

This looks pretty cool! Is there any chance you could include an example or two on the website? I clicked on the learn more button and was only presented with a field to enter my email address. It would be helpful to see an example of what I might be getting, before signing up.

(and from a service point of view, it would help people avoid being disappointed / annoyed if they didn't get what they were expecting!)
