Arcane

Introduction

Arcane serves as a web-based solution as part of my Harvard's CS50x final project, designed with a minimalist approach to tackle the complexities of newsletter management. It provides an intuitive remedy for subscriber handling, enabling the creation of engaging newsletters using a comprehensive text editor, and ensuring the distribution of personalized content. Through seamless integration with an email service, it optimizes communication efficiency and fosters increased engagement among subscribers.
