It's still surprisingly hard to send email newsletters. I want software or a service that sits on top of mailgun/ses/my own SMTP server and handles list management, templating, link redirection, and analytics. And that stores everything in a way that makes further data mining easy.
Lots of services solved the just sending email part. And lots of mailchimp type services offer a complete product geared towards marketers. Not much in between and most existing players have laughably poor APIs that make custom integrations and extensions painful.
- aj0strow 10y agoCheck out Sendy - https://sendy.co/ https://sendy.co/
- eli 10y agoSeemed pretty immature last I looked at it a year or two ago, but I can give it a other spin. One-time pricing and a DRM scheme that involves obfuscated PHP files also makes me little nervous.
- rafaelm 10y agoBesides Sandy which aj0strow already mentioned, there's another solution called Mailtrain. It's open source and has some of the missing sendy features. I've been meaning to try it for a while now.
- eli 10y agoWill check it out, thanks. I could imagine an OSS based business model working here. I'd gladly pay for support and perhaps sponsor feature development.
