The GitHub repository hosts "rss2newsletter," a project designed to transform any RSS/Atom feed into an automated email newsletter with minimal configuration. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to Mailchimp's RSS-to-Email feature. Key features include image extraction from OpenGraph metadata, integration with listmonk for email distribution (compatible with Amazon SES), and its lightweight nature.

8 commentsThere have been an influx of such tools, and understandably so, related to email lists. Based on various comments, I feel that the biggest item driving success around email is around email deliverability.
What are the the skills and secret sauce of companies that claim to do very reliable email deliverability, and I'm failing to understand why isn't it as simple as doing the right configurations and setting it up using Amazon SES.
Any email gurus to please throw actionable light on this?
Have used it to run multiple newsletters, over various version upgrades (almost all stress free), and even written some custom integrations with the API.
With that said the sending of the emails is the easy part. Deliverability is hard.
Sending via SES is pretty likely to go straight to spam folders or worse. Granted if it’s 100% opt-in and you have the kind of audience that will hunt for the email and mark it as valid you’ll probably improve and be ok long term but it’s something to think about.
