I teased in the last email I had sent on Patreon that I made the decision to switch my weekly(ish) newsletter sending app back to Buttondown.Quick version:For anyone viewing this that isn’t already subscribed, you can sign up here - https://buttondown.com/lemoncasting- if you want to get my newsletter most Tuesdays.You can see in the archives, which I moved over from Patreon, that I last sent out an email in July. Ooof.The Why's?Selfishly, collecting links and writing in Patreon's app isn't any fun. To me. Other people like it. I prefer Buttondown's interface.

I hate that kind of friction for communicating. Linking to "my newsletter on Patreon" implied that it cost money to read. It doesn't. But Patreon is a "support me on Patreon" style app in a lot of people's minds. I didn't like that implication…
