A project that allows sending newsletters directly from Notion. It was a small side project which saw the first exit for me. This project saw a fair amount of ups and downs. We started with fire in the belly, then fizzled out to Web3 hype, before finally managing to get an exit.

- This was the first time, I went out of my comfort zone and wrote a lot of articles and was super active on Twitter
- Content is king.
