+
+Newsletters for WordPress and WooCommerce: write an issue in the block editor,
+keep your lists, put a signup form anywhere, send it through your own mail
+setup, and show every issue as an archive on your own site. Written to replace
+Mailchimp for a shop that does not want a monthly bill per subscriber.
+
+## What it does
+
+* **Write** an issue in the block editor, inside a template, with images,
+  columns, buttons and products from your shop.
+* **Lists and subscribers**, with double opt-in, a one-click unsubscribe in every
+  mail, and a CSV export whenever you want your list back.
+* **Sign-up** through a block or a shortcode, and from a Nolimit Forms form you
+  connect to a list.
+* **Send** now or at a time you choose, to one list or several, to each person
+  once. A test send goes to one address and changes nobody.
+* **An archive** of every sent issue on your own site, in your theme's own
+  frame, and a block that lists the latest issues on any page.
+* **Templates** that are plain HTML files: use the two that come with it, drop
+  your own into your theme, or paste one in that an AI designed from the guide
+  the plugin hands you.
+* **Import** a Mailchimp export (subscribed, unsubscribed and cleaned files) and
+  ask the imported people to confirm, so leaving Mailchimp is not a weekend.
+
+## What it refuses to do
+
+* **No click tracking.** No link in a mail is rewritten, so no address is
+  routed through anyone.
+* **No phone-home.** Nothing about your site or your subscribers is sent to
+  anyone. There is no account and no paid tier.
+* **No opening-counting unless you switch it on.** It is an option, off by
+  default. When it is on, it records who opened which issue in your own
+  database and tells nobody else, and the suggested privacy text changes with
+  it.
+* **Nothing is mailed to somebody who has not agreed.** A signup is pending until
+  the person follows the link in the confirmation mail, and a pending signup
+  nobody confirms is deleted after 30 days.
+
+## Where to start
+
+1. Install it and set up your mail: [SETUP.md](SETUP.md).
+2. Make a list, put the signup block on a page, write an issue, send yourself a
+   test, send it.
+3. Developers building on it: [CONTRACT.md](CONTRACT.md) lists every hook,
+   option, table and constant, and what is deliberately not promised.
+
+## Documentation
+
+| File | For |
+| --- | --- |
+| [SETUP.md](SETUP.md) | Installing it, the few settings that need a decision, and checking that it works. |
+| [CONTRACT.md](CONTRACT.md) | Developers: what it offers other plugins and themes, what it stores, and what it asks of them. |
+
+Requires WordPress 5.9+ and PHP 7.4+. WooCommerce is not required; with it
+active, an issue can carry live product cards.
