IssuePulse featuresSmall links. Clear answers.
Everything IssuePulse does today, from the link your reader clicks to the chart that tells you what to write next.
Collect. Without asking much.
A reader clicks one link in your footer. That click is the vote. Nothing to install, nothing to fill in.
One-click vote links
Every topic gets its own set of links. A click records the vote and shows the reader a short thank-you page.
Optional reader comment
After voting, readers can leave one short comment if they want to. Most will just click, and that is fine.
No reader signup
No account, no form and no JavaScript on the vote page, so the links behave inside every email client.
3 or 5 links per topic
Five gives you more shape; three gets more clicks. Switching to three hides the last two and keeps their history.
Your own labels
Rename any link to sound like you: “Loved this”, “TL;DR, sorry”, “More on this”. Past votes stay attached.
Paste. Anywhere.
Pick the format your editor handles best, copy the block, paste it into your footer.
Four copy formats
Embed (a styled HTML block), Linked (rich-text links), Markdown and Plain text. Switch at any time.
Live preview
See how the block will look before you copy it, right next to your tracking links.
Format remembered
The format you last used on a topic is remembered in your browser, so next week is one click.
Trust. Every number.
Email security scanners click links before people do. IssuePulse filters them out so a vote means a reader.
Scanner and prefetcher filtering
Known link scanners and email prefetchers are dropped before anything is counted.
Embed open counting
Embed blocks count how often they were opened, whatever format the topic is set to, with repeat opens from one reader inside 5 minutes counted once.
Slug lock
Once a topic has votes, its URL can’t change, so links sitting in old issues keep working.
Old links keep working
Links created before labels became editable still record votes against the right option.
Understand. What landed.
One issue tells you a little. Four issues in a row tell you what to write next.
Vote breakdown
See how votes split across every link on a topic, in the same colours your readers saw.
Trend chart
Votes over the last 7, 14, 30 or 90 days, or all time. Long histories scroll sideways, and all-time totals match the stats above the chart.
Reader comments
Every comment left on the vote page, next to the vote it came with.
Embed click-through
Votes compared with counted opens for embed topics, so you know how many readers bothered.
Issue tracking
Log each send and paste its own links, so every vote and open is tied to the issue it came from.
Issue scores
One score per issue, from -100 to +100, built from the links you mark positive or negative. Shown once 5 readers have voted.
Sponsored vs. regular issues
See whether sponsored issues score higher or lower than your regular ones, once you have three of each.
This week summary
Your dashboard sums up the last 7 days: top topic, what readers asked for more of, best and weakest issue, new comments.
Manage. Without a manual.
A dashboard that stays out of the way, on a laptop or on your phone.
Topics table
Search, filter by copy format, sort and page through every topic. On a phone the table turns into cards.
Filters saved in the URL
Bookmark or share a filtered view and it opens exactly the same way.
Works on your phone
Every page works from small phone screens up to desktop, with larger tap targets on mobile.
CSV export
Download your votes, comments and issues for any spreadsheet. Comments that look like formulas stay plain text.
Help where you need it
Every setting links straight to the help article that explains it, and the help center is one click from the sidebar.
Coming soon. Not pretending otherwise.
These are planned, not built. They’ll move up to the lists above when they ship, and the changelog will say so.
