  Hi HN, we've released Dittofeed v0.4.0, a significant update primarily focused on facilitating self-hosting. Dittofeed is an open source (MIT licensed) alternative to platforms like customer.io, mailchimp, klaviyo, iterable etc. Self-hosting is particularly useful if you: - Want to evaluate Dittofeed without a long-term commitment - Prefer fixed, non-volume based pricing models - Aim to keep all personally identifiable information within your own infrastructure In this version, we introduced 'Dittofeed Lite,' which merges the dashboard, API, and worker services, simplifying deployment, along…

  Open-source low-code email editor2024 · github.com · ▲148

  Hey HN, Chandler from Dittofeed (https://github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed). We just added low-code functionality to our open-source email template editor. The editor features a Notion-inspired “/” command interface for inserting new blocks. You still have the option of using MJML or HTML, but we wanted to give everyone an easier option for creating primarily text-based emails. We have a live demo of the editor which you can access here (just hit the “Create Template” button): https://demo.dittofeed.com/dashboard/templates Since this is the first…

  Dittofeed – Embed Messaging Features in Your App2025 · ▲14

  Hi HN, Chandler from Dittofeed here. We’ve made a way to embed messaging features into any application because we saw a lot of engineers reimplementing the same things like drag and drop workflow builders, user segmentation builders, and template editors. This is especially true in vertical SaaS where you may have an app for healthcare providers, for example, and you want to give them communication tools to reach out to patients. It’s a non-trivial lift to build messaging features, and it can end up taking engineering teams 6-12 months to implement. So now you can just consume any number of…

  Talanoa▲346

  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…
