Hi Poet!


Welcome to this month's newsletter!

The summer holiday season is in full swing here at MailPoet, and various members of the team have been enjoying a well-deserved break with their families and friends. Unsurprisingly, overseas travel has been off the cards for the majority of us. Instead, we've been enjoying going "back to basics" with camping trips. While we've always been a distributed workforce, the pandemic has increased screen time for all of us, and so a digital detox has been welcomed!

Despite the holidays, we've been making great progress on the updates we're implementing to the form editor and the design of the plugin. You might've already noticed parts of the plugin are sporting a fresh new look - we'll be continuing to make design enhancements over the next few months. And in case you missed it, we've recently introduced pop-up, slide-in, and fixed bar form types to our signup form editor. We're still making improvements to all of these, as well as producing some form templates for you to make use of.

We hope you have a great week!
