We support substitution tags in email templates. In other words, you can replace -name- with the name of your customer - it works a lot like {{name}} in a handlebars template. And yes, you can still sign up through the Microsoft Azure marke

SendGrid is competitively priced - as @jamestanderson mentioned, $20 goes twice as far. Mailgun doesn't offer a marketing product at all, and I am not sure if they provide the 24/7 support we do. At the 40k+ volume levels, you&#x2

Another price comparison. $20 w/Postmark: 13,000 mails $20 w/SendGrid: 100,000 mails Postmark also doesn't offer the option to upgrade to a dedicated IP later on, which many larger companies find is better for deliverability.

That makes a lot of sense! On the backend, we've already built a way to view content samples (for compliance reasons, e.g. if something looks spammy and we need a human to confirm). It would certainly be possible to expose that functio

We're actively working to improve the dashboard and standardize UX across SendGrid - that's the design team's big push this year. Feedback would be very welcome. Shoot me an email (it's in my profile) with the details an

$20 w/MailChimp Transactional: 25,000 mails $20 w/SendGrid: 100,000 mails So let me know if you're thinking about switching. I'd be happy to intro you to someone on our team. Disclosure: I'm with SendGrid. :)

It's quite common among self-funded companies in our industry to start out providing professional services, and immediately plow that money back into developing their first product. When the product starts bringing in revenue, the cons

Okay, HN - forget the surveys and methodology. Your actions will be local, so your data will be too. Take a look around you, in your workplace. Are there actually any female developers working alongside you? How about in engineering managem

I can't believe this was the most downvoted comment for a bit. It's true and incredibly relevant. The responses from women with 10+ year experience paint a shocking enough picture, and this survey doesn't even cover those wom

Edit, did my own research: these codes are part of the credit report and represent the status of the account each month. They aren't the only factor (length of history, utilization, number of accounts, and type of accounts matters too)

This does raise a good point: your goal is not the same as the bank's goal. A terrible credit customer (pays credit cards in full every month, never gets a mortgage or car loan) may be the most financially responsible person they ever

It's not true. Lenders review the credit report (the "credit score" is a simplification), which includes data on whether you made the full payment or only the minimum. Making only the minimum payment is often correlated with

It's not a stage name in the show business sense. This is actually what people call them on a day-to-day basis. It is just as "serious" a name as Moon Unit Zappa; you might think it's odd, but it's their name, so de
