The ability to send emails in timed batches (for better deliverability) AND to be able to pause sending to make changes to the email is one of many killer features of Bento.

Pleased to announce I'm the proud recipient of the Grand Prize of Clarityβ’, a highly coveted award in the world of online course structuring. π
It's taken me a week of metaphorically bashing my head against my desk with this tricky little bugger. But I've got there.
Oh wow. Congratulations! Sounds like a really interesting role. Can't think of anyone better suited.
βquack, quick, quick, quack, quick, quack, quack, quack. βsma, fa, smaft, smaft.
The answer is yes. Yes, it does.
Nodding along furiously with @jonathandot.bsky.social's every word.

One thing I love about being a barfly is getting @theadminbar.com's excellent newsletter a day early.

I'm at the "just bought a shitload of domain names" stage of a new project for 2025 and I'm obviously very excited.
("Obviously" cos obviously the hard work hasn't begun yet.)
A selector like :nth-of-type(odd) might look intimidating for anyone newer to CSS... but it's not that complicated and it's extremely powerful.
