Weeknotes from Buttondown

Hello! I’m Justin. I’m the guy who runs Buttondown.

(Do you know what Buttondown is? You can read more about it here.)

I subscribe to the Weeknotes philosophy, which is an overwrought term for what is essentially public journaling.

I write about:

• Marketing and positioning

• Revenue wins (and woes)

• Interesting bugs and my terrible bug fixes

• How I plan and prioritize features

• Entertaining anecdotes

Weeknotes is a paid newsletter: it costs, well, whatever you want to pay. You can think of it as a tip jar: if you want to support Buttondown but you don’t need to use any of the paid plans (or you find them prohibitively expensive), tossing me a few bucks is greatly appreciated — plus, you get to read more about the product!

Some kind words from long-time readers

“What I like about these emails is it’s about the inner technical challenges of a money-making system, but without being a press release or an outreach blog.”

Hillel Wayne

“I love your insights and to see all the thought you put into getting the revamp right. Really look forward to what you build!”

Jesper Dramsch

You write these newsletters like someone who reads a lot of books (in a good way).
