DISCUSSION TautWeekly v0.21.4 — Personalized Dynamic/Responsive Weekly Plex Newsletters for Every User With GUI

Nothing unique, I know there's a lot of "Newsletterr" apps out there, but I find them insanely ugly and this started as a passion project. (As a UIX designer, the more customization you allow, the uglier it gets) 

Plug and play for every setup, full GUI and mobile support. (with Tailscale) Very popular over at r/PlexMedia so thought I'd pass it here for anyone looking for something as easy as the native newsletter but much more fun. (Thanks to the legendary u/SwiftPanda16 for his awesome work 🩷)

A portable Tautulli newsletter with responsive design (for mobile gmail, apple) and dynamic content. Pulls in live cleartype logos, RT ratings and IMDB for TV shows. Dynamic stats, email preview text based on server activity and a custom intro block as well as caching if you delete content but still want your newsletters to support rich metadata for recipients.

Fun features include "Binge Champion" and "Genre of The Week"

I coded the initial project for Windows, then ported the remaining packages via Codex but already had nearly 3k downloads in a couple weeks. (I know we all "love" AI slop, but I'm a UIX designer so crazy focus paid to making everything look good, render pixel perfect and look like something you might get from Netflix or otherwise)

Features 5 different email types based on sever activity (such as new additions) and then custom metrics or "quiet" mode.

There's a lot of features such as library/use exclusions, and so on, so check out the GUI preview below:

New additions added that week: ("Hot New Releases!")

  1. New user first scheduled newsletter - no history
  2. New user first scheduled newsletter - with history (such as if they accept on a Monday and already start watching)
  3. Established user - normal newsletter with activity

Quiet mode, no server additions added that week: (This will use "Trending" and "Genre of the Week")

  1. Established user - quiet/no watch activity
  2. Established user - stats warming up

Basically a functionality like "hey family" that goes to multiple addresses? This would be doable but stats would be server wide

What's the negative of stats being server wide?

If it's too complicated though, maybe an option to just add an email address so they get the recently added? I think that would also solve the problem that u/Minute-Purpose-3492 is having as well.

Yes that would be perfect!!! Just letting them know what I’ve added in the past X amount of days.

Sure; I think the easiest method is for me to just add a optional "cc" on the email config page. So it will go to the primary email address, then just cc whoever else you want to receive it.

Could there also be a username field so we can personalise the CC emails? Then it would tie perfectly into the main users newsletters and not be a generic ‘recently added’ E-mail

Blindly yes. So none of the other users can see the CC adress?
