Design newsletter profile images

A bit of design and testing first, working on adding images to the newsletters to use as icons in subscriber forms and other places.

- Setup CDN and DNS.
- I built a test app to load the images into the CDN and make sure all that is working ok, gives me an idea of the code I'll be adding into Audience and what I need to do. Also have to think about removing old images from the CDN.
- Wireframe to finish off the newsletter create screen with the image.

Build out some custom routing

Built out the new routing for the newsletters. Each newsletter will have it's own thank you and archive page.

Also want to create a new page for each email's web version.

Spec time

Doing some specs around the next phase of work for the newsletters. I want to be able to create much richer subscriber forms, Archives to access previous emails, a new thank you page for successful signups.

Blogged an update https://serversncode.com/audience-what-have-i-been-working-on-lately/

A quick update into the work I have been doing and some of the new features coming in Q1 2021

- Email Editions
- Premium Newsletters
- Newsletter Signups
- Referral system

Get a subscriber count

This is part of the analytics that Audience will be able to show you.

I can track the number of subscribers to a newsletter each edition you send, so we can see if it goes up or down between editions.

I plan on also tracking unsubscribed based on the newsletter edition they unsubscribe. So even if they don't tell you why you would have some information to understand why it might have happened.

Updated newsletter flow

Made some updates to the user flow on creating a newsletter and email, you can no create the email and schedule it or save as draft.

Updated the email options

Added in support email options.

- Edit an email,
- Schedule an email,
- Archive email,
- Cancelled a scheduled email
