02 Share what you accomplished yesterday.

03 Share what you commit to accomplishing today.

    1. 1

      Thanks, bruh.

      After sending/updating campaigns/settings, what kind of responses you've received from the app waiting list and podcast hosts? Any new challenges or insights popped up for you, @Davey?

    2. 1

      Added some email notification settings options to slow down some of the more frequent emails to podcast hosts

      What does this mean?

      (By the way, I haven't any resources for Privacy Policy.)

      1. 1

        I have a host who releases a show every day. When MR runs its automatic show updating routine and picks up her new episode from her RSS feed, I send a notification email to her, as then she can come in and add interactivity if she likes. This happens automatically and she asked to not get this particular email. I wasn't set up yet to do that, so added the option to do it real quick.
