NewsletterApp

Users can create an maintain family newsletters. They can invite new members, and submit entries for the next newsletter. On the first of each month, every member of a newsletter will receive an email with entries from the previous month, as well as a link back to the site so they can view everything in one place.

If you would like to test the site's functionality, log in using the email 'me@test.com' and the password 'password'.
