# Product newsletter

URL: https://samva.dev/templates/product-newsletter

Send an engineering newsletter with a lead essay and diagram, shorter stories with small tiles, a changelog list and one action.

## Guidance

- Supply the issue number and month, the lead title, author, summary and diagram, and the essay as a list of paragraphs. The stories are a list of image, title, summary and link and the changelog a list of lines, so an issue of three stories and one of five render from the same source.
- The subject is built from the issue number and the lead title. The headings, button labels and footer are editable copy; point the issue and essay links at your own site and wire the preference and unsubscribe links before sending.
- It is written for Basalt, a fictional data platform for backend teams. Replace its mark, the diagram and the story tiles with your own images. Every color and font is a theme token set in starter.css, so a restyle edits that file.
