Goodbits

Overview

Goodbits is a content curation and newsletter creation platform designed to help creators turn saved links and shared content into polished email newsletters in minutes. Over 100 million email newsletters have been sent through the platform by industry leaders, and the tool has been featured on Product Hunt and covered by TechCrunch for its innovative approach to newsletter creation. The platform operates out of British Columbia, Canada, and was created specifically for creators who spend countless hours curating content from across the web.

What differentiates Goodbits from traditional newsletter platforms is its focus on content curation rather than content creation. The platform automatically saves links from dozens of sources including Twitter, Instagram, Slack, RSS feeds, Buffer, and websites through a Chrome extension, organizing everything in one central location. Instead of starting with a blank page each week, newsletter creators using Goodbits build their issues by dragging and dropping pre-collected links into a visual editor, transforming scattered bookmarks into structured newsletters. The platform positions itself as a newsletter creation tool that saves 3 to 4 hours per week by separating the content collection phase from the newsletter assembly phase, making it particularly valuable for creators who publish link roundups, curated digests, or weekly resource compilations.

Best For

Goodbits is ideal for newsletter creators who curate and share content rather than writing long-form original articles. The platform works particularly well for marketers, community managers, and content curators who publish weekly roundups, resource digests, or link collections highlighting industry news and interesting finds. Newsletter creators who already spend time bookmarking articles throughout the week but struggle with the assembly process will benefit from Goodbits' streamlined workflow. The tool is particularly valuable for teams and organizations where multiple people contribute links to a shared newsletter, as the platform supports collaborative curation with shared inboxes and collections.

Key Features

• Multi-Source Content Collection: Goodbits automatically saves links from dozens of integrated sources including Twitter, Instagram, Slack channels, RSS feeds, Buffer, Facebook, and direct website browsing through a Chrome extension. This automatic collection means newsletter creators can gather potential content throughout the week without manually copying and pasting URLs, and everything is centralized in one inbox for easy access when it's time to build the newsletter.

• Chrome Extension for Web Browsing: The platform includes a browser extension that allows you to save links directly into Goodbits as you browse the web, eliminating the need to switch between tabs or remember URLs later. This frictionless bookmarking enables creators to collect content opportunistically throughout their day rather than dedicating specific time blocks to research and gathering.

• Organized Collections System: Goodbits lets you organize saved links into categorized collections, making it easy to group content by topic, theme, or newsletter section before assembly. This organizational structure helps newsletter creators who cover multiple topics maintain clarity about what content belongs in which category, reducing the mental overhead of sorting through dozens of unorganized bookmarks when building each issue.

• Drag-and-Drop Newsletter Builder: The platform provides an intuitive visual editor where you drag saved links from your collections and drop them into your newsletter layout, with live previews showing how the issue will appear as you build. This drag-and-drop interface eliminates the need for HTML coding or complex formatting, allowing creators to assemble professional newsletters in minutes rather than hours.

• Collaborative Team Features: Multiple team members can save links to shared collections and contribute to newsletter curation together, making it easy for organizations to crowdsource content from different department members. This collaborative functionality reduces the burden on a single newsletter editor and leverages the collective knowledge of teams to create more comprehensive and diverse link roundups.

• Flexible Sending Partner Integration: Goodbits integrates with major email service providers including Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor, ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit, AWeber, HubSpot, Sendy, and Drip, allowing you to build your newsletter in Goodbits and send through your existing email platform. This integration approach means creators don't need to migrate their subscriber lists or change their sending infrastructure, and they can continue using their preferred analytics and deliverability tools.

• HTML Export Option: For creators who use email platforms not directly integrated with Goodbits, the platform offers HTML export functionality that lets you download your completed newsletter and import it into any email service including Gmail, Outlook, and custom solutions. This flexibility ensures Goodbits can fit into virtually any existing workflow regardless of what sending platform you prefer.

• Built-In Analytics: When sending directly through Goodbits, the platform provides click-level analytics that show which links and content pieces resonate most with your audience. These insights help newsletter creators understand what types of content drive the most engagement and refine their curation strategy over time based on actual reader behavior rather than assumptions.

• Customizable Landing Pages: Goodbits provides customizable landing pages with subscribe forms that integrate with your email service provider, giving you a branded destination for promoting your newsletter. These landing pages match your newsletter design and can be hosted on custom domains, creating a cohesive experience from subscription through to email delivery.

• Template Customization: While Goodbits provides clean, simple design templates out of the box, the platform allows full customization of HTML and CSS for creators who want complete control over their newsletter branding. You can build custom templates from scratch or modify existing ones to perfectly match your brand guidelines and visual preferences.
