# Nolimit News

![Nolimit News — writing an issue with columns and shop products](assets/hero.png)

Newsletters for WordPress and WooCommerce, without the monthly bill per
subscriber. 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. **Nothing leaves your site** — no click tracking, no
telemetry, no account, no paid tier.

## Install

1. Download `nolimit-news.zip` from the [latest release](https://gitea.nolimit.dk/kw/nolimit-news-dist/releases/latest).
2. **Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin**, then activate.
3. Set up a real mail sender before the first send — [the setup guide](docs/SETUP.md)
   says why, and walks through the first ten minutes.

Later versions arrive in **Dashboard → Updates** like any other plugin.

## Documentation

- [Overview](docs/README.md) — what it does, and what it deliberately does not
- [Setting it up, and knowing it works](docs/SETUP.md) — mail, the first issue,
  importing from Mailchimp, and what to do when something is wrong
- [Hooks and integration](docs/CONTRACT.md) — for developers: what the plugin
  offers to other plugins and themes, and what it stores

## More of it

| | |
|---|---|
| ![Sending an issue](assets/screenshots/sending.png) | **Sending.** Preview, test, send now or schedule; how many were mailed and, if you switch it on, how many opened it. A send that fails stops itself and picks up where it left off. |
| ![Lists](assets/screenshots/lists.png) | **Lists.** Public lists the signup form offers and private ones you fill yourself, with pending, subscribed and unsubscribed counted apart. |
| ![Subscribers](assets/screenshots/subscribers.png) | **Subscribers.** Double opt-in, so *confirmed* means the person followed their own link — and an import from Mailchimp that asks people to confirm. |
| ![Templates](assets/screenshots/templates.png) | **Templates.** Plain HTML files: use the shipped ones, drop your own in the theme, or paste one an AI designed from the guide the plugin hands you. |
| ![The archive](assets/screenshots/archive.png) | **Archive.** Every sent issue on your own site, in your theme's frame, and a block that lists the latest anywhere. |

Requires WordPress 5.9+ and PHP 7.4+. WooCommerce is not required; with it,
an issue can carry live product cards.
