How are you sending newsletters?
Personally, when recently built my own Laravel-based email-list-sending app, I just decided to stick to plaintext. I worked in email marketing automation for 7 years so did a lot of email building and handling work, and I didn't want to be doing that in my free time, so I kept things simple and plaintext only. Worked well for my audience since they're often tech/privacy focused. Source here if you wanted a peek.

static-server: an HTTP server in Go for static content
I wrote something like this [1] for the team at my old workplace. We mainly worked on static html files but some functionality required loading via http. Many of the devs were quite new to development in general, so I built a simple static server in Go, as an exe which they could set as the default for `.html` file, and therefore just open via the webserver via double-click as normal. The program would watch the directory (if not already open and watching) then open the right path in the default browser. I also built-in livereload, management via tray icon and a basic web UI.
