In plain words

Anypost is a transactional and broadcast email API designed for solopreneurs and high-volume senders who need affordable email delivery. Built on modern, non-cloud infrastructure, it charges 8¢ per 1,000 emails, significantly undercutting typical cloud-based competitors.

From the sources

Anypost is a developer-first email API for transactional and broadcast sending. It runs on bare-metal servers instead of marked-up cloud infrastructure, cutting costs without sacrificing deliverability.

Send transactional and broadcast email from one modern API — 8 SDKs, Markdown sends, tags, tracking, and webhooks. As low as 8¢ per 1,000.

Transactional and broadcast email through a simple API, at a fraction of legacy email-API pricing. Send over HTTP or SMTP. SMTP lets existing apps and off-the-shelf software send with no code changes while HTTP offers a richer JSON interface and enhanced speed. One key authenticates both, and every send reports back the same events, whichever transport you use. Email HTML is a special kind of misery. With emailmd you write plain Markdown, and Anypost renders HTML that's been tested across real inboxes, plus a clean plain-text version, on every send. emailmd is open source , with 1,000+ stars from developers who render their own email. Inside Anypost it's built in: pass markdown and the…from anypost.com

    I'm the founder of AhaSend. We've built a transactional email service specifically for developers, with a Pay-As-You-Go pricing model ($0.50 per 1,000 emails) and up to 70% volume discount for platform partners. While there are many ESPs out there, we focused heavily on the Developer Experience to solve the pain of building and testing email flows: * The CLI: Heavily inspired by the Stripe CLI, we built a tool that lets you develop and debug locally. You can listen to webhooks, trigger events, manage your domains, and send / list / debug messages directly from your terminal. * True…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
