Ember
A public archive for a newsletter, so the back issues are findable rather than trapped in an inbox.
== Description ==
A newsletter’s archive is its best marketing and its worst-maintained asset. Ember treats issues as numbered, dated posts with a real archive, so a two-year-old issue is linkable, searchable and quotable rather than a screenshot someone sends you.
The signup form is one field and one button. Every additional field halves conversion and none of them are used, which is a thing people know and keep doing anyway.
Type is set for reading twelve hundred words in one sitting: a 66-character measure, 1.6 line height, and no sidebar competing for attention.
== Screenshots ==
Numbered the way they ship in /assets/. Click any one to see it full width.
== Installation ==
- Install and activate the theme.
- Create your first issue and set its number in the Issue field.
- Point the signup block at your email provider. Six are supported; anything else takes a form action URL.
Issue numbers drive the archive ordering, so an issue published late still sorts correctly.
== Frequently asked questions ==
Does it send email?
No. It is an archive. Sending is your provider’s job and they are better at it than a WordPress plugin will be.
Can I hide recent issues from non-subscribers?
Yes, with a configurable delay. Older than the window becomes public automatically.
== Changelog ==
