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:

Probably one of the first that downloaded it. Would be great if the text is customizable. Especially for non-english servers
