Hey, looks very cool! If you could share a comparison against Listmonk[1], that'd be useful.
All the best!

Nice, I built an internal tool like this once. Love what you've got here. IME the next priority is supporting alternate providers to SG (and I see from the thread it's on your roadmap).
Another option for the SMTP part is using an upstream mail provider perhaps https://mxroute.com/ works for folks.
Oddly, I've had pretty good success with sending from my own Postfix+OpenDKIM based infrastructure for many years (in Linode). I suppose it's mostly because my volume from that box and those domains is so low and is primarily transactional rather than news-letter like things (I send service announcements maybe quarterly). I mentioned it elsewhere in thread but I like Postmark for those newsletter & drip-campaign stuff.
Git-versioned marketing templates seem unfriendly to presumably a marketing user.
That said, I’ve been integrating and supporting similar platforms over the past several years, and the feature set and maturity is low for the cost of these services. If Dittofeed puts the pressure on the market, that’s fantastic.
I suggest utilizing personalized email templates within Klaviyo. For a comprehensive guide, please watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHqUbVd8yvY.
This is super awesome to see open source - I wonder if there's some value in email flows for self-hosted software as well.
I'm thinking if someone self-hosts a complex OSS app like Dittofeed (or even HyperDX ;) ) - would it be beneficial to allow admins to enable email onboarding flows like they get in the SaaS side of things, so end-users can be drip-fed product docs appropriately (and even customize it themselves if they're a big enough enterprise)? This can probably help onboarding/adoption internally if done well.
Either way - I'm really excited to try this out on our cloud side of things to help our new users learn our platform faster :)
Glorious, I've wanted something like this for years. Thank you <3
The absolute worst with hosting your own email lists / transactional emails is that you need to be very up to date on the status of your IPs and domains in various blocklists, and it's very easy to get blocked from them.
I don't see anything mentioned about this, nor other similar issues, either on the website or in the GitHub repository.
Are you offering some functionality that help people manage this, or how do you suggest people approach this "when not if" problem?
