Giant Newsletter

A re-usable package which can be used in any project that requires a generic Newletter app.

This will include the basic formatting and functionality such as model creation via the admin and email sending.

Installation

To install with the package manager, run:

$ poetry add giant-newsletter

You should then add "newsletter" to the INSTALLED_APPS in your settings file and to the Makefile.
