   I made a MailChimp alternative that connects to your database▲302

   Hi all! Excited to share cc.dev after months of work and refinement. The idea for this product came from trying to do email marketing for my side project, CubeDesk, a site where Rubik's Cube enthusiasts can time themselves, race with one another, train algorithms — it's a fun niche! With over 40k users, sending even a single campaign was becoming expensive with MailChimp. I knew AWS SES would be much cheaper, but it’s just an API with none of the other necessities you need for a robust email marketing platform. Beyond cost, I was also frustrated with having to make sure my database was…

    Envelope – A modern environment variable cli tool▲103

    Hey HN! I've built this cli tool to manage env variables of a project, but mostly for fun and to try out Rust and the clap crate. I had this idea when I made a big mistake and broke some production stuff because I had a very messy .env file laying around in my project. I was implementing new features for one of my projects and in my .env file I had the test database url commented out and the production one was not. Long story short, I applied migrations to the production database instead of my local test one and broke a lot of production APIs :') I wanted a tool that could easily help me…

    We made a CLI and API to automate inbound email▲16

    Hi HN! We're a 5 person team working on simplifying the creation of email apps. Right now, most email services focus on outbound emails (newsletters, transactional, delivery), but that doesn't solve the fact that we all hate receiving them. You can try it at https://mailscript.com Mailscript lets you create programmable email addresses. It works headless, via the CLI, API (we use Swagger to support most languages). You can even run it as a daemon on a server (to run functions when emails arrive). Once you get [email protected], you can create as many aliases as you'd like…
