Happy National Dog Day! 🐶🐕🐾

Post card illustration of the Chicago skyline. There is a 1/4 inch boarder in the traditional post card blue, red, and white stripes. The illustration shows a woman wearing a yellow dress and blue shoes with white socks sitting in a park reading a letter on a red blanket, there are three other people walking on a path along the lake on a sunny day, with a few white clouds. One man wearing a green top and yellow pants is eating a hotdog, another man wearing a red top and mauve-ish pants is walking his dog (the dog is orange with black spots on the end of his body with a black tail), and a wearing a red and white stripped top and green shorts person riding their red bike with a green messenger bag across their body. In the lake there is a yellow boat. In the sky, there is an orange and red plane with a little blue man wearing a scarf that is blowing in the wind. Attached to the back of the plane is a blue banner flowing in the wind that says "Buttondown" in white letters.

Not quite changelog worthy, but we just threw a fresh coat of paint on the email analytics drawer. It's now easier to compare metrics across emails!

Buttondown @buttondown.com · 20/01/2025

we're experimenting with "the least bad one out there" as our positioning but maybe we should run an a/b test against "not actively the worst"

don't let the lack of effusive enthusiasm for this changelog entry fool you — the grand total of four people who will be using this feature are OVER THE MOON buttondown.com/changelog/20...

Some features are whizbang — genuinely exciting, game-changing additions to Buttondown's surface area that radically transform how you use the tool.

Others are, uh, more esoteric. More mundane, perhaps.

"Webhooks for exports" is one of those esoteric features. Our statistics show that not that many of you use webhooks (they're a niche feature!), and the venn diagram of people who use webhooks and people who use exports is... well, small.

We've rolled out a small tweak to improve login this morning: Buttondown will now remember which login method you last used on a given device, so as to remove the nano-headache of "wait, was this SSO or not?" We hope you like it 🥰
