At some point over the last weekend I realised that my ForwardPass AI newsletter had hit 100 subscribers (in a week!), I also came to realise two of the limitations plaguing fledgling newsletters:

1) The author publish each post simultaneously across the globe, so an optimal moment for one time-zone is middle-of-the-night for another and subscribers have no say on this time!

2) Your subscribers are locked into a frequency of receiving newsletters the author decides (ie weekly or monthly). This does not cater to subscribers who are keen on your content, but prefer a a different cadence (ie fortnightly instead of weekly)

So, I have developed an experimental delivery method for ForwardPass that addresses both of these limitations - the ForwardPass MCP, which you can add to your AI of choice right now!
