You would need an external service for that, I looked for something on Netlify but didn't find anything. Maybe a newsletter service like Tiny Letter?

Do you have experience with Tiny Letter? How about something like this? https://css-tricks.com/using-netlify-forms-and-netlify-functions-to-build-an-email-sign-up-widget/

I've checked that link but that just covers subscriptions, which TinyLetter/Mailchimp provide too. Sending newsletters from feeds would be another thing, but I just realized that's exactly how I've reading feeds. I have a Ruby script that downloads feeds and sends new articles as email. TL gives you a secret email address you can send email to and it'll get distributed as a newsletter. This can be done with any listserv provider too. Would you like to try that?

Sounds cool, the ruby scripts needs to run on a server (maybe heroku) constantly or is something that netlify can handle?
New post means that there is a change in the repository, so a build is triggered and the script can be run with the build I assume...
Would it be able to send the generated feed to TL's secret email address, or will there be a manual step in this process?

it looks like netlify functions doesn't run ruby but i can probably adapt the script to run from the jekyll build and send the email to TL, so you won't have to do anything

That would be great, if its not too much work for you
