Self-hosted email without the AWS headache. One-command deploy

• javidabd 2y ago
  Hey HN! I’ve always been frustrated by how expensive and bloated email platforms are. Even “self-hosted” solutions usually mean running your own VPS, but at what cost. So, I built SelfMailKit, an email platform you can deploy to your AWS account with a single command. No infrastructure knowledge is needed. - Transactional and marketing emails - Notion-style visual template editor - Smart queueing, retries, and domain warm-up - APIs, analytics, unlimited domains, team roles, etc. It’s already in production for a few customers (sending hundreds of thousands of emails), and it’s built to scale. Happy email sending!

  I noticed you mentioned email receiving in your landing. How does it work?

    It’s built on top of AWS SES with a built-in inbox in the dashboard
