To make Forem more useful for team collaboration, it would be great if we could set up a configurable daily digest to make it easier to catch up.
Mandatory (IMHO) configuration options:
- The time it gets sent. For example, I'd like to receive the email at 8 AM Monday to Friday to catch up with what I missed before starting to code.
- What gets sent. All new posts, only new posts by users I follow, comments on my posts, etc.
Stretch goals:
- A way to pause these emails for a certain amount of days (e.g. during holidays) without losing any settings.
- Having this also available as a page on the site, to keep it out of email. E.g.
forem.dev/username/digestwould always show the same content as the last sent email would.
What do you think?

Love the idea! Some more ideas:
Love the idea of having them on the website too!
Thanks for the feedback!
Some of the things you mentioned seem like better use cases for improving our existing newsletters, my proposal was more concerned with specific smaller Forems that are used for collaboration. But one does certainly not exclude the other 😀
Absolutely Michael! My community builder brain is definitely biased 😅
Love the idea of the browsable Forem digest like newsletter archives. With Federated identities it could also be a summary of multiple forems 🤔
Love this idea
I would really love this. I like to get all my social media notifications during particular time of the day rather than through the day.
