Mailing list subscriber plugin

I have been playing around with a mailing list site namely www.mailchimp.com. A pretty impressive mailing list manager. You can have 2000 subscribers and send them 12000 emails a month free. The setup looks great and the newsletter templates look pretty swish. And the analytics are pretty clever. I have made a plugin that the user can input their email and it will be added to the list. (simples really) You can have the same mailing list for apps and website combined. You could make a custom url screen, but they include branding, the benefits of this is no pesky captcha stuff and no detailed entry by the users. Have posted a vid, at least this way it looks native to iOS http://youtu.be/jhYcJwu-adQ Is this of any interest

Looks like we'll see some great plugins this year! I'm getting close on my first plugin, which will be a customizable web form builder that can link to a hosted php file.

@chris1, let me know when you want beta testers (providing self-hosting isn't a requirement). That is one of the plug-ins I've been wishing for. Cheers! -- Smug

@ smug For the plugin to be properly tested it will need to be self hosted, you could copy it into a blank screen plugin, then hard code the values. But to be honest it works great testing over past few days, populate email press subscribe email arrives in inbox and in mail chimp back end. Still trying to make iPad version look pretty

@mysps had a look at awebber there are no obvious Apis to use, I was digging around GitHub but most of there versions use obsolete code that is no longer used by aweber. Custom URL maybe the way to go, or switch to mail chimp, you can transfer mailing lists using csv

my webform generator plugin may be able to work with aWeber. I haven't used that service before, so I can't say for sure. But if you can use your own custom html forms to send data to aWeber (e.g., name and email for a newsletter signup), then it should work fine. Like Kittsy, I still need to do some work to make sure it looks okay on the iPad. Also, I need to figure out how to connect it to the Buzztouch control panel to generate the proper JSON. But, that will have to wait until Buzztouch opens up the plugin market again.

Hi, I was wondering if this plugin ever came out? It would be massively helpful if it has! Thanks a lot
