Web: As a user, I only want to receive 1 match email per day, so I dont unsubscribe
the problem
too many issues posted to the platform, not enough room in my inbox!
the solution
- refactor the code that sends this email to be kicked off once daily, via a crontab, instead of triggered when a new issue is created
- add checks to make sure that the email isnt sent more than 1x a day.

Counterpoint, I like to drink from the firehose and have a lot of emails...
I think I'm in the minority but would appreciate to still have this option!

@mkosowsk maybe its worth making this configurable in ones email settings?
owocki

@owocki is the idea that one email would have multiple issues collected over a 24 hour time frame (if applicable)?
If that's the case, I'd be happy with that!

that would be hot! a rollup email with all of the funded work available thats a match for me would be 馃挴

@mkosowsk have you already started work on this feature?

@owocki excited for my first contribution.
Can you please provide a little guidance where the code for the emails is located at. I found the crontab file and assume you are talking about
GITCOIN MARKETING section
and app/marketing/management/commands/send_subscription_mails.py
I will also look how to make the emails configurable.
Thanks,
G

Status update. I was blocked by a 404 error when I clicked on the Email Settings link. The slack thread https://gitcoincommunity.slack.com/archives/C8E45J5D0/p1519619010000007 helped me get past the block.

Is design needed?
PixelantDesign
on 27 Feb 2018
i think we could stand to redesign almost all of our emails... as most of them were coded during my "im getting up at 3am to work on gitcoin while i have a full time job" phase of the project..
but that aside... if you could spend 1/2 hour mocking up what this should look like... it might be worthwhile. here are two templates to jumpstart the visual conversation http://bits.owocki.com/0j0B2z0M0m3Q/Archive%202018-02-27%20at%208.49.37%20AM.zip

@owocki @PixelantDesign I spoke with @gsvitak regarding this issue and tried to provide him with some clarification on this bounty. Will we want to redesign the new bounty template before moving forward with this?

i wonder if we couldnt get away with just modifying the following template
as follows:
cc @PixelantDesign in case she has some thoughts here
owocki

k I will move forward with the design above unless @PixelantDesign has some ideas.

@gsvitak Here is an update email template. Let me know if you think any of this is not doable, I tried to keep it pretty simple. I've removed a few fields to clean it up a bit @owocki.
Fonts I used are Futura which is already in the system and Muli Regular and Semibold which can be found here
Sketch file can be found here.

(thinking out loud here) is the gitcoin logo too big / billboardey on this?
owocki
on 7 Mar 2018
@owocki That's modern email design! :P Might be the combination of knocked out logo and high contrast. We could shrink it about 25%.
