Products that do what Sendune – The Email Platform for Anyone Using AWS SES does

Just over two months ago, we shared our open source HTML email designer here and it very quickly hit the front-page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41007403. Here's some backstory. The open source email designer was the foundation and core part of an internal tool we started way back in 2014 to help our clients leverage the reliability and cost benefits of Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). In 2018 we made this tool public - calling it 'Send With SES'. In 2024 we renamed it SENDUNE (https://sendune.com/). This was partly to avoid infringing on the word…

   Sendune – open-source HTML email designer▲429

   Demo: https://designer.sendune.com/ Code: https://github.com/SendWithSES/Drag-and-Drop-Email-Designer HTML for email is probably the hardest code to write. Even a teeny-tiny deviation from the rules will break the email in untold combination of os/desktop/mobile clients. It's mid 2024. Almost 50 years since email was invented and 35 years since HTML was born. A 'basic-open-source-HTML-email-designer' must be a solved problem, right? We thought so too. Sadly, that's not the case.

   I made an open source Mailchimp RSS-to-Email alternative▲109

   Hi all! Excited to share rss2newsletter after completing dev work for the initial release. The idea for this project came out of necessity, as I wanted to share my articles via email newsletter. I was looking for a super minimal, lightweight, and open source solution, and when none existed, I decided to create one. For any sizable number of email recipients, a popular platform like Mailchimp will easily cost you hundreds or even thousands per month in per-contact fees. rss2newsletter, on the other hand, allows you to use Amazon SES, so you can reach your audience at pennies on the dollar.…
