Looking for an easy to use single app that can do an rss feed and also do email

(1/2) > >>

littleman:
Basically I just want to be able to type something and have it go out to an "announcement" RSS feed and also send out that info to email subscribers.  You guys have any recommendations?

Brad:
Wordpress ought to do that for you.  It has both RSS feeds and email notifications (last time I looked.)  Just install a WP announcement blog.

For fee there is Micro.blog Premium for $10 per mo., which has both RSS and JASON feeds plus newsletters.

All the features of a hosted microblog, plus...

Up to 5 blogs
Email newsletters
Private and shared notes
Bookmark archiving and highlighting
Podcast and short video hosting
iPhone app Wavelength for recording

ergophobe:
Substack will do it too

It’s free unless you charge for subscriptions in which case Substack takes, I think, 10% plus CC fees.

Brad:
I found another one:  https://mataroa.blog

Has both RSS and Email subscriptions at the free level.

littleman:
Thanks guys.  I think I need to explain what I am looking for more.  I don't want a content management system, but rather an announcement system where I can write a blurb and have it go out to an rss feed and also send out a mass email.  This would be strictly for announcing software updates.  The website is largely static with just a forum running.  I prefer to keep the main part of the website static and simple so that it renders well in non HTML5 compatible browsers.  Ideally I would be able to just link to the rss on the home page and add a link for product update emails.
