1. Enter your email above and tick the consent box, then hit Subscribe.
2. Your address is stored privately on our own server. It is never shared, sold, or exposed to third parties.
3. When we publish something worth your time, you get one clean email. Every issue has a one-click unsubscribe.

Want the same self-hosted signup on your own site, with no Mailchimp account or third-party script? Here is the shape of it. The form on this page is built exactly this way.

1. Register a private custom post type to hold subscribers. Set public => false and show_in_rest => false so addresses never leak to the front end or REST API.
2. Render an accessible <form> with a required email field, a consent checkbox, and a wp_nonce_field() token to block cross-site posts.
3. Add a hidden honeypot input kept off screen. Bots fill it, humans never see it, so a filled value means you can silently drop the submission.
4. Post to admin-post.php and handle it on admin_post_nopriv_*. Verify the nonce, run is_email() and sanitize_email(), then save the entry. Dedupe by email so refreshes do not create duplicates.
5. Give yourself an admin CSV export so you can sync subscribers into your email tool whenever you want, while staying the owner of the list.
