Field notes
The schedules are deliberately different: Pepys follows the calendar of 1666, while Pooter is paced as 167 consecutive episodes. The site says readers may revisit past entries in an archive. Its privacy notes name Supabase for subscription information and Resend for delivery, and say email addresses are used for requested diary emails and related subscription messages rather than marketing.
