    Oh, nice! I recall Reddit did support RSS at one point, I didn't realize they limited it. rss2newsletter is only ~300 lines of code right now and I'd prefer to keep it more on the …

    This looks like an interesting take on email marketing. I use an open source solution called Listmonk (w/ Amazon SES) for my emailing needs. How does this project compare?

    Thank you! I'm glad to hear my project is working well for you on the upcoming Qubes R4.1 (currently untested by myself). To the best of my knowledge, no official QWT build exists …
